Sony KDL-60R510A Thin Red line on screen

[fharris1977]

Hello. I have a Sony Bravia set which is supposed to be a high quality set. There is a thin red line that runs down the center of the screen. I've have changed the T-Con board and the red line remains on the screen. Asking the experts, do y'all think I have a defected panel? Hopefully not, because I'd hate that such an expensive TV set can't be repaired because of a defective panel. Anyone with experience or knowledge of this issue with this TV set or any similar, I'd greatly appreciate your help. Thanks in advance.

It does look like a possible lcd to ribbon panel issue (COF). If you apply pressure at the top of the set carefully in line with the red line, does it alter?

Hi. I've tried pressing around the top and bottom of the screen but that red line won't budge. I was hoping it was a main board problem because I've never seen a defective panel with a red vertical lines. And I seen where someone had a Sharp set with a thin red line and the T-Con board was the problem with that set.

Can it be repaired without expensive equipment or is it trash due to a defective non-repairable panel?

That's a possibility if it's an addressing issue.
If you disconnect one of the ribbon cables from the Tcon to the panel does the line disappear. You may have to reconnect the ribbon and disconnect the second ribbon cable.

take look on the TV chassis to learn which panel build in
