I got the same exact problem. I really hope there is a fix other than swapping the LCD panel.

Mike Wolf, that looks like a TAB error. Sometimes applying some pressure to the binding on top of the LCD panel can resolve it. Most of the time a new panel is needed.

What is a TAB error specifically?

Oct 16, 2015 by Mike Wolf

LCD panels use TABs to connect to the driver boards. TABs are (tape automated bonding. they sort of look like ribbon cables going form the driver board into the LCD panels.

@oldturkey03 Sorry to resurrect and old thread but can TABs be replaced?
