Q: Flashing green pixel lines on screen

I have a mid-2010 MacBook Pro and this week it started getting flashing vertical lines across the entire screen. They're about 1/8 inch apart and flash almost constantly. The software is up to date, and I've reset the SMC and the PRAM, which made the problem go away temporarily but it came back within an hour of rebooting. This leads me to believe that it's a hardware issue, but I was wondering if anyone else had encountered this problem.

The MBP is from 2010, but I've had the screen/top clamshell replaced twice for other problems, so this screen is only actually about 3 months old. Thoughts?
Thanks!

MacBook Pro, iOS 6

    well, I have that same issue. I have been testing and poking around, cleaning connectors, twisting the whole lower case (and it disappears momentarily)... So far it is working after having pressed gently but firmly (with a plastic pen end) on the LFXP2-5E little black silicon piece... !

    I will post again if it appears again or if I find a more definitive solution !

    hope it helps
