Vertical lines (mostly red, some green) suddenly appeared across my screen mid-show. They remain on any channel, any input, and after turning the TV on/off. My TV is about 12 years old but has functioned great until now. Any idea what the issue is?

Mine appear mostly at the bottom and creep about one third to half way up the screen (or they become dimmer such that they are not as visible as they get further from the source (test or image on screen).
I have cleaned ribbon cables, no luck so far. Thinking it is probably on the BAX board or the
