I experienced the exact same symptom a view days ago with my 2008 MBP. I don't think that either the display data cable or any logic part is responsible for the problem. Rather the problem seems to lie within the LCD panel. My guess is the area of the LCD panel just at the bottom end of the yellow line where the signal lines hit to the display matrix. The assumption is supported by the fact that a gentle "massage" at that spot usually makes the line go away (as long as I do not touch the display).

To be honest I don't think this is repairable. As a new LCD panel is $230 I will wait until the situation worsens and/or is no longer bearable. Then I'll try to fix the panel by myself. Stil I'm not positive this can be done easily.
