Panasonic Th-50pz700u Vertical Line

[B8ender2]

I've got a couple of vertical line that goes from the bottom to the middle of the screen. According to the Service Manual it could be coming from the D board ( control board) or the C5 ( data driver board) which control the lower center of the screen. My question is how can I determine which board it is or do I just replace. I think with my knowledge I can change out the D board but the C5 board i'm a little intimidated with the connectors going to the plasma screen. Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.

How thick is the line? Just a few pixels or an inch or more?

It looks like about 4 lines. Each are as thick as a pixel. One a greenish color another is yellow, sometimes you see a purple tint and some a couple of very faint tan/white lines. It's on all inputs if that matters.

Unfortunately that line is an unrepairable panel fault
