Hi. I was given a Samsung PN51F5300AFXZA 51" plasma TV. I took it with the intention of fixing it as a gift for my mom. It turns on and will stay on for an indefinite amount of time without issues. There are, however, several thin vertical lines on the left side of the panel. I tried searching here and several other forums and have not had any luck. The lines aren't static, but they don't change position. Each one is a pixel wide and they are multiple colors. Usually people seem to have bars, solid lines, or vertical lines covering the entire width. I know Samsung models commonly have panel...
