Vizio VF550M No picture, blue streak at top.

Just acquired this old girl from a neighbor that didn't want to mess with it. Thought I would at least check it out and make sure it's not a cheap fix. I can't really seem to find any common denominator's with this model so I'm hoping you guys can help me out. I've attached a picture of the screen, and this is universal to all inputs (including the OTA tuner) so I'm thinking it's not the input board. Any ideas on where to start? I know this isn't worth spending much on, but would be nice to get a few years out of it if I can still find parts.

Thanks in advance for any and all help.

When I first started working on LCD TVs I spent lots of money on lots of T-CON boards expecting to fix this problem but none were fixable.
