The screen on my TI-84 Plus CE-T started displaying horizontal lines and streaks (see picture below); any assistance with troubleshooting would be appreciated.
Whoa, that's weird. I've never seen that before. What have you tried doing to fix it so far?

I tried clearing the RAM but the problem's still there, though now it seems like the streaking doesn't appear until 30 seconds or so after turning the calculator on.
Press 2nd and del while pressing the reset key in the back. Then reinstall the OS. That should solve it.

That still didn't do it unfortunately - see picture below.

Looks like a hardware fault to me. Contact TI and see if they'll replace or repair it.

Thanks, will do.
Also the streaks on the display seem to get darker when the calculator is physically rotated - does this indicate anything about what the fault might be?
Probably not -- the 84+CE, like all TI calculators (I think), does not use an IPS screen, so tilting or rotating the calculator makes the screen appear color negative.
