The flexy cable between lcd and main pcb is faulty
SOURCE: Sony DCR-SR200 screen slowly "scrolls" vertically like the V-Hold on an old television
After researching various flexible cable numbers from different posts, I found that the SR-200 uses a unique cable, FP-610, part number 187145711. This has been discontinued and replace with part number 187145721 (same cable also used in DCR-SR300).
If you are in doubt with your camera, just take it apart up to the point of seeing the ribbon cable. The part number is printed on the side.
I found two sources for this so far, www.nexttronics.com and https://servicesplus.us.sony.biz/sony-parts.aspx. Price ranged from $30 to $40 plus shipping.

Hi!
It's most likely a broken LCD flex cable which goes through the hinge. It's a common problem with these cameras. I repair them every day as I work in a Sony service center. If you're out of warranty, talk to Sony, maybe they are ready to pay half of the repair or something like that as I believe it's a factory fault.
Hope this helps!

If the issue persists again, please perform LCD
screen Calibration and check if that helps. 
If the issue persists, perform
a power resetting of the Camcorder. To perform power resetting, please remove
the battery pack, turn the Power switch to ON for more than 15 seconds, turn
the Power switch to OFF position and then reinsert the battery pack.
If the issue persists even after performing all the above-mentioned steps,
service is required.
The most likely cause for this is a damaged or defective flexible ribbon cable that connects the LCD to the camera body and can be repaired fairly inexpensively. However, it's not a user serviceable problem and will need to usually be repaired by a qualified service technician.
