It might just be a clogged (dirty) head.
Try a full manual cleaning first. Note that if you do it wrong you can
destroy the heads. If you do it right you could solve the problem.
Good Luck.

Not with just the 1/3 snow. Clogged head would give either picture overlaid
with snow or total snow. A few models give a different, kind of bright white
with other artifact over the whole screen due to head preamp design (like
some old Hitachi models), but I still think it's a failing head.
