Probably not usefull but your description of lines going through the screen would suggest that one or more connections are not connected correctly, bit like when a scart lead on a TV partly comes out and you end up with a picture but no sound. Have you tried twisting the connectors to see if the lines go away, if they do you would know that it was a bad connection? Have you cleaned all the contacts and connections? I am probably saying what you have already tried.
The modules you took out, did they not work at all?

There's a ribbon cable in the unit that may need the pins cleaning. Get the unit to slide downwards and then look underneath - you'll see it.
Means taking the unit out, taking the top off and unclipping the cable, wipe, reverse...

i took the radio cleaned the ribbon cables but still the same when i pluged it back in i put the blue plug in first and the screen lit up a dark colour with no lines then i plugged in the white plug and the lines were running through it again it like looking through a camera at a television.
