sony lcd vertical line

[grendal10]

i have got an sony 40" lcd with a vertical line, im guessing its not repairable as the line remains even with the tcon disconnected, ive got access to the top ribbons but pressing on them does not affect the line in any way. just wondering what might cause it?

Re: sony lcd vertical line

COF (chip on film) address driver for the screen. Some area of the chip break down causing rows on the Lcd to do weird things like what you have pictured. Its bonded to the Lcd and not replaceable so its scrap sorry

Hey why not just chop that tab off (address column for that tab will go black) and then fo the same for the end right hand tab and just have a 4:3 Tv ? If not maybe the Tv needs a meeting with your foot lol
