How to fix horizontal lines on screen?

How to fix horizontal lines on screen? My kindle froze up and wouldn't reboot. I determined it was the mother board, which I replaced. But now the screen has evenly spaced horizontal lines - like a bad print from a printer with low ink. Is replacing the screen my only option?

Joanna, if the screen worked okay before, you want to check to make sure that your ribbon cable is properly seated and secured. Check for any debris or bend pins. It could be a broken LCD, but most likely it's the ribbon cable.
