TV screen has the wrong colors and some semi-permanent lines?

We lost the power cord, so I took another cord with the connector that has a round and square end, but my tv needs two round ends like: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/AudioQuest---6'-NRG-X-...

so i shaved off the square end to make fit. Now my tv color is off. We bought the cord at bestbuy shown in the link, but most of the dark colors are always off and there are some line across the bottom that are almost always there.

Is my tv ruined or can it be fixed? Thanks for the help everyone.

    Your situation has nothing to do with power cords. And you didn't need to pay $70, you could have paid under $5.00. I have a dozen or more of those cords around, they are that cheap and versatile.

    Likely you have a bad connection for the video signal, or some settings are just off.
