Emerson TV LCD Screen problem

My Emerson LCD Screen is starting to show vertical lines starting from the top approx. 2.5 inches long. Any ideas....it looks to be failing!!!:

have you checked for a faulty or loose cable

if you open to check for cables then also give a quick look at the condition of the electrolytic capacitors. They should ALL show a completely flat metallic surface top., excluding the "safety" indentation. Any Capacitors (usually very large high voltage devices) that sport a domed PLASTIC cover can be ignored, since it;s the heating effect on the outer sleeving that retains the plastic that causes the bulging as the sleeving shrinks.

Doesn't appear to be cable related. Even with the signal disconnected, the pixel lines still remain.
