VIZIO M60-C3 Can the vertical line be fixed?

[tmhobadcap]

I am trying to help my friend to fix his Vizio tv with a vertical line on the screen. The line is on the right side. It is blue/purple on the right side starting from the top. But it only goes to about 3/4 of the screen height (not to the bottom of the screen). It is very obvious when the screen is dark and it is hard to be seen when the screen is bright. Please help.

From my experience, this is a sign of a stripped ribbon cable on the glass side, try to press it against the glass with something soft and fix it when the line disappears. Care must be taken not to damage the glass!!!! rubber heatsink from processor.

Thank you all your suggestions. I have tried the methods suggested but no luck. I gave up and helped my friend to recycle the tv.
