Why are there vertical color bars appearing in 1 section of my scree
Vizio TV recently removed from storage (was only in from May-July) powered on and had vertical white bars with color stripes in one section of the screen. Looks like something in particular came loose or went bad, but I took the back off and have no idea what I'm looking for. Any help appreciated!

@crowbot Any chance you can see/point it out here?
Is this a good question?

Sorry but it's usually within the LCD unit itself. It's the electronics that interfaces the raw elements of the LCD to the video card. Usually there are separate chips for different sections of the unit. It looks like one failed. My experience has been that once this happens, the LCD sub-assembly needs to be replaced.

@dcjeffreys double check something for us. Bring up an on-screen menu on your TV. Let us know if those lines run through that menu as well....
