No pictures on display just lines

Many digital photo viewers can only display photos of a certain size or less. Check your owner's manual, or find the manual online, and it should tell you what the upper size limit is for your viewer.

OS info is always helpful, if say you are running some type of nix, it's likely not getting recognized by xserver or if your running some version of windows your display manager has shut it down because of a resolution mismatch.

Its a dlp rear projection which uses the lamp---possible problem with optical light engine or digital board--set more prone to light engine problems--it displays the picture onto the mirror and processes all picture info in and out of the engine.

I have encountered this same error on the frame I bought 2 years ago. I saved the pictures to a backup and then reformatted the frame - this didn't work - does anyone have any other solutions???

CCD module failed, contact fuji, they got product recall for some camera models with faulty CCD

The problem could be either the display screen has partially failed (red green or blue color is not displaying) OR the screen's connection to the control board needs to be cleaned. Either repair requires disassembly. The charge at my shop would be $49 labor plus parts if required.
