Apple ipod

My iPhone 3G arrived at a blank screen and a half. The other half is black with vertical lines. What does this mean?

I do not yet received, I'm just asking for future reference:) Do you think I have to change the LCD? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=270414969505 This is the phone

Make sure you have warranty on it and also that the screen could be crashed
