Wrong forum.
You could replace the screen yourself easily, even with little or no experience in modding/repair/etc.

I mean the actual screen has all lines and whatnot...not the cover

Ya, if you buy a replacement screen it wouldn't be hard to just swap them out.
Unless the lines is something besides the screen itself, something in the circuitry. Is it physically damaged, cracked, etc.?

Most of the time this is because
1. The cable that is bonded to the LCD glass is coming loose (squeeze the cable)
2. The LCD has suffered high heat conditions that cause the controller to die progressively.
