Vertical blue lines

[billy66]

I have a NEC 1960NX monitor. It works great, only issue is about a 2" vertical blue lines from top to bottom. I've narrowed the issue down to the ribbon type connector that goes from the actual screen to the board. If I push down on the tape in various places, the lines go away. I can't see any way of fixing this... Am I out of luck? Toss the screen and keep the good boards for parts?

The pic shows the board I'm talking about... as I can't think of what to call it. And the close up is the ribbon cable I push on.

Re: Vertical blue lines

Oh, and I don't have to push on the ribbon right where you see it in the photo. I can push on the side, I even varied my pushing. Sometimes the pushing doesn't work at all. I'm not sure if it is a "push and it makes connection issue" or that my finger makes a ground point?
