Single vertical line on 50" Panasonic Viera TV

[graybarry2000]

This is an issue that has been plaguing me for a while. There is a vertical line seemingly a single pixel wide that changes colour depending on the other surrounding colours:

I've researched the issue on the internet. Most of the advice tells you to replace the PCB that is aligned with the glitch on the opposite side of the TV set, which would be the PCB at the very bottom left of the following photo:

For good measure, I also replaced the adjacent PCB as well as the ribbons to no avail. I previously had a fault with the same TV where a much bigger vertical block was present on the left side of the screen, though I fixed it by reseating the ribbons on the opposite side as well as cleaning them.

Any general advice? Model number is TX-P50U10B.

I would say panel and the advice I would have given would have been try a clean and reseat which you've already done and not to expect any miracles.

Unfortunately there are little ICs embedded on the panel ribbon at the bottom which fail and that's the end result.

Annoying but still viewable but over time it'll probably continue to fail.
