Do the Stripped lines have color? Red, Green, blue or white
OR
Are they Horizontal (left to right) Bands of NO distinct color, like missing light?
If colored lines, are they Horizontal (left/right) or Vertical (up/down)?
A nice repair shop (small shops) may, and I stress may, try to replace only the bulb or inverter. This will be at least 100-200 dollars.
A large shop (Best Buy and such) will replace the LCD Panel. $1200 gauruntee.
I suggest 2 options if you cannot repair yourself.
1. Contact JVC TODAY and ask for a exception to the warranty since you are only a few days out...maybe they will be nice and help. Some people get lucky.
2. put the unit on ebay with a photo of the TV when you turn it ON and see the lines. Start the price at $180 and you should get enough toward a replacement. replacement will be about $700...the price has dropped since you bought yours.
I would really push #1 as a start. Many manufacturers provide something when you are only 1 month out.
Good Luck!!
