I have a Sony Bravia KDL-46XBR4 that has a thin black line going down the right side of the screen. Alongside the black line is a blue line, and on the left side of the screen there are 2 very thin yellow lines spaced a few inches apart. Is this a result of the TCON board failing, or a panel issue? I have had the tv apart already and have checked all the ribbon and cable connections. Thanks!

EDIT: The line has turned into multiple colored lines! What does this mean?

I've been watching the lines change colors, get thinner, and even come and go now. After reading online about tapping and pressing on the casing over the lines, I decided to start pressing on the frame. While pressing, the lines change color and intensity, appear and disappear, including new lines.

I've concluded this is due to the tab bond fix I did to the tv. It seems the added pressure along the edge of the panel, along with the heat, causes the lines to come and go.

I can live with them over the flashing, ghosting and blacking out of the right half of the panel in which the tab bond fix is for.
