That's the leading cause of striped displays. If you field-strip it, take it completely down, peer over the motherboard carefully, and look for any signs of obvious damage, such as water stains, darkened areas or components. You can TRY reseating the RAM chips, but this seldom fixes it. The most likely candidate for a transplant would be the Classic II, it's twin brother.
