What is causing these lines on my iPod's screen?

What is causing these lines on my iPod's screen? My issue is similar to the one that Why do I have a gray horizontal line on my screen? had, but was never completely resolved. There is another interesting fact about this problem that I didn't see mentioned there.

"David Hodson, I would definitely change the LCD. Even if it is the connection or the connector , this would be resolved during a change. Just clean your connector when you replace the LCD. It is also a lot cheaper than the logic board. I think that the difference in the lines is caused by a difference in current that the LCD received and therefore the appearance changes. Good Luck...and as you probably know, it is a bear to open :-)

"In my opinion it would be better to clean the display terminal this would fix the problem rather than replacing the logic board .

I faced similar problem a month ago and I was successful when I cleaned the display terminal with a light solvent(VCR head cleaner)"

yep. i had same problem. lines getting more and more, worried that it would eventually take over the whole screen, looked into getting screen replacement but the lines have basically gone away now and are constantly going away more
