I have a canon A95 digital camera. All of a sudden the LCD screen in Shooting mode is displaying coloured horizontal lines pink / greenish and these lines are flickering. The LCD shows the picture perfectly in view mode.I need help to get rid of this problem.

I have the same problem, but worse. The LCD is just noise like the screen of a TV set tuned to a black channel.I have the same problem, but worse. The LCD is just noise like the screen of a TV set tuned to a black channel.

This sounds like it might be a defective CCD imager. If so, Canon should fix this for you for free, including free shipping both ways. This is regardless of your camera's warranty status. Please check the following two links for more info:

This maybe two problems, the pink color hue in the picture and lines from lens shutter problems. Your LCD is still good. You have to replace motherboard and lens.
victor_adams, If reconnecting the VGA cable to the pc several times won't cure problem, may need to fix or refurbish the units switch-mode-power-supply and or replace the cold-cathode-fluorescent-lamps with new ones! Not an easy task for newbie!!! Retrevo. com says its time to retire this unit and get new one. Visit YOUTUBE for video clips of lcd monitor disassembly and lcd monitor repair before you jump into trying to repair/refurbish this old unit!!! 12fixlouie
Gimbo again. Think LCD damaged will need to repair. Pics. as normal when viewed or printed.
Why has nobody commented?
How much to replace screen? Any ideas?
Sounds like the image sensor is malfunctioning (common symptoms: distorted images with purple or green cast, completely dark images, flickering lines across the screen.)
I hope you will be pleased to hear that you'r eprobably eligilble for a free repair from sony. This is a known problem that many companies had with the CCD sensors inside the digicams, they finaly accepted resposibility one by one(sony being the last I think, 2 years after they stopped using the faulty CCD).
Get yours fixed through here(the american site): http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/news-item.pl?mdl=DSCV1&news_id=118
or if they don't ship to europe, you can try the uk site- http://www.sony.co.uk/view/ShowArticle.action?section=en_GB_Support&articlesection=1&article=1128075116465&site=odw_en_GB
or try one of the other countries listed here, and search for "important notice", or the equivalent in the local language on the box to the left: http://www.sony-europe.com/staticcontent/hub/hubpage_odw_en_EU_support.html?referer=http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/Support/
Good luck
Try setting the video output option to NTSC (if it's on PAL). I know this sounds funny, but I have heard some rumblings about this option somehow creating a LCD flicker. If it doesn't work, I apologize in advance for wasting your time!
My camera is on NTSC and I haven't seen any flicker on the file numbers on the LCD.
