LG 50PK550 Red vertical line on LHS of panel

[L33TN00B]

Hi there,

My LG Plasma (LG 50-PK550) has started to develop a thin red line on the left hand side of the screen. I've run a pattern test by shorting the jumpers on the control board, but the line is still there, so I've put the inputs out of the equation.
So, my question, is it the control, X-board or the panel kaput?
I dont think its the latter 2, as red, black, white and gray still display, but I'd like to have your point of view.

Thanks alot and kind regards,

Michael

That'll be a COF Chip or Tab issue.

These are part of the panel itself and not repairable.

You can check the bottom connectors on the boards to and from those COF, they'll be under that long metal rail that's along the bottom of panel--Itll be the one in line with the line--if you see what I mean...
