For a couple years now, on the right side of the monitor I would have a few purple vertical lines that would show up when the monitor was cold. After it warmed up the lines would go away. It started out with one or two lines then eventually got to be around 10 or so, but they would always go away when the monitor was warmed up. This all happened in about a 2 inch span on the right side of the monitor. A few days ago the whole right side started exhibiting weird corruption issues. It would come and go when the monitor warmed up. The rest of the screen is perfect.
After some Googling, I found a Youtube video that explained it could be an issue with a ribbon cable connecting to the panel. So I took apart my monitor, but it doesn't look anything like show in the video. The lcd panel is encased in a metal surround, I can not see any cables on the top as show in the video. So then I did more Googling and ran across some posts in these forums, but I never saw any real answers to my problem.
I'm sorry I don't currently have pictures of the issue as I already have the monitor torn apart. I can get pictures of the different boards, but I don't know which is which. Is it possible it is the T-Con board, or is it more likely the panel that is failing?
EDIT:
I figured out how to get that front metal casing of the front of the panel. Now I can see that area as shown in the Youtube video. I'll see if pressure there makes any difference.
I am not very good with taking electrial readings. I do have a small digital multimeter that I barely know how to use it, but I can learn.
