42 in. Plasma TV Sony?

I'm having a problem with my Sony 42 in. plasma TV. For a while now there have been about 7 or 8 white lines that run vertical up and down the middle of my tv. On closer inspection, the white lines are actually a combo of one red, one blue, and one green line that just makes it look white. Anyway, just today near the right side of my screen a red line has appeared that also goes up and down. The tv still works fine and the picture is good except for the lines. Does anyone have any idea what this is, and what the cost would be to fix it?

    First, get a TV Tech....second it could be a bad ribbon cable connection, OR a bad driver ic....

    A TV tech can tell you the cost...just pay the diagnostic fee, and if you call back and AUTHORIZE the repair, the fee applies to the actual repair charges, IF YOU OK IT within 30 DAYS.

    Don't wait 60 days....
