(Help) Dark lines on LCD

> ScreenShot of the Dark Lines

I've been having this problem with dark lines developing on my LCD for awhile.
I was wondering if anyone knows of a fix or what exactly the lines are about.

When I turn on the LCD, the dark lines are not there, but within an hour it's very noticeable.
You can imagine watching movies or playing games being very annoying with a moving picture and static lines.

LCD - Dell 2005FPW 20.1" Widescreen - IPS Panel

It was purchased in January 2005 and the warranty is no longer available.

Thanks in advance.

sounds like LCD has some bad capacitors. If you know how to replace them, then it's an easy fix. If you don't, then you have to buy new monitor.

Thanks for the reply shangshang.
If that is in fact the problem, I won't be able to replace the capacitors myself.

I have to say that this LCD has held up pretty well since I got it in 2005.
No dead pixels, no back light bleed and besides this current issue, it has been flawless.
