Hitachi LE42H508 Vertical Lines

[mike123333]

I have a Hitachi LE42H508 with vertical lines, I wanted to know based on your guys experience whether the panel is the issue or the possibility of the Tcon or main board? originally there was one or two vertical lines that would come and go, then the past several weeks my daughter stated to me that there were multiple lines that would come and go. I am not sure if that is symptoms of a bad panel or the TCON/MB having issues. I did disconnect the TCON one side at a time and results can be seen in the photos.

Panel failure not fixable, expect more rows to start dropping.
