Powershot G12 - Random blue lines on final pictures

So, my G12 camera was violently grabbed while I was trying to take a picture of somebody. Then, after that, this started to happen:

Observe the blue horizontal lines all over the dark places of the picture.

The viewfinder showed horizontal blue lines appearing randomly all across the screen. And when a picture was taken with those lines, the final result appeared as shown above. Needless to say, some pictures got ruined and editing this doesn't seem to be very easy.

I thought that the camera got totally screwed. Then, when I tried to replicate the problem, it stopped. No more blue lines appearing on screen. And the camera performed well for the next months.

But a few days ago, the blue lines appeared again. I don't know what's the exact cause of this issue and I would appreciate some comments on how to solve or treat the problem before it happens again at the wrong moment. :/
