Laptop in Trouble?

I own a 4 yrs old iBook G4. Am still working with 10.4.11 on that.

This evening, I saw one white line stretched across the screen, about an inch from the bottom edge. I did a restart, hoping the line would vanish -- but no such luck.

Since then, I have realised that every time I shut the lid and reopen, some more lines keep turning up along which there is no display of any of the pictures or text or whatever in that area. As of now, there are about NINE such line across the screen, fortunately all within about a centimeter of each other.

So, I intend to avoid shutting the lid from now on -- just switch the laptop off instead!

I took a screenshot with Cmd-Shift-3, but the lines did NOT show. So, have now taken a picture of the screen with my mobile and this is what it is at, right now:



The question is: Is this the end of my laptop? Or, is there a solution for this problem?

HELP!!
