Vizio D650i-B2 panel tab or tcon?

I was reading the troubleshooting post on here and it says the tcon is responsible for lines on the screen. But I was reading other posts where people were dealing with lines and they were all talking about bad panel tabs.

If it's the panel then I might as well break this tv down and sell the rest of the components. Shame to have to do it though. This tv takes up half the wall in my bedroom. But it was a free tv so im sure i'll come across another in due time. Still have a 60" and a 58" on the bench for repair. I seen videos where people put stuff on the tabs to kind of put pressure on them to make a connection. Not worth it to me. I don't want a temp fix. If I part it out then I have money to put into others that need to be fixed. Right now I've got about 15 flatscreens ive collected from around the area for free all with various problems.

You sell flat tv like bread in USA? Lucky.. i have to pay always.. single or few lines on the screen means that COF chip has lost connection in the output or the internal register has some failing locations (difficult because le lines are black so 3 sub pixel columns consecutive broken), If you put pressure and lines goes away you have the answer. I'm not so sure it is a temp. fix if you do it well also with some that is spreading the heat to the frame, also watch for high ripple from PSU, it can be the source of the problems i think..
