If you have a spare player, can you swap in a different display module?

DO NOT SWAP IN A DIFFERENT DISPLAY MODULE

I have this exact same problem, and I decided to swap in another display module, and before too long, the new module had the same symptoms. I believe there's something on the mainboard that is causing the displays to fail. I haven't yet gotten around to sending them off to be fixed, but I plan on doing so before too long, now that I got in another player as a replacement so I'm not empegless while it's being fixed.

As a workaround, I found that if you turn the brightness down, the lines went away, for a while. Eventually, the display will just go completely blank.

And, for the record, here are pictures.
