sony xbr-65x850b has black vertical line in center of picture.

[nwcs]

I had replaced the power supply on this and it went home with the customer. Customer called me a few days later saying there was a black line in the center of the screen. I got it back from the customer and there is a black line going from top to bottom of the picture. The line is black and a little jagged on one edge. I put the legs on the tv and set it up and now the line is gone. No matter what I do I can not get the line back. This is all good but I do not want to send it home and have it come back with the same problem. My thought was that a ribbon cable to the Tcon may have been pinched causing the issue but since I can not duplicate the issue I am at a loss. Does anyone have experience with this problem. I have noticed that there are a few complaints with sony tv's having this problem but no solution. I have included pictures if that helps.

Will it do anything if you flex the screen?
This panel look sot have tab bonding boards o the top edge any also on the bottom edge, the bottom edge tends to be damaged by the cleaning fluid that was spray on to the screen and damage the traces on the bottom tab bonding board.

If the Tcon is at the bottom of the set and if the screws for the legs are to long then they may be screwing into the Tcon.
