A: Lines are the effect of the graphic relay plasma interface board that runs jst across the top of your screen in the rear and also houses your backlight. This problem happens as a result of age, Humidity, and impact. There is nothing you can do shy of replacing the panel. Even though the sscreen is fine, the panels GRPI board is built into the screen assembly. It is NOT Driver or Pixel related if it disappears. The cable may have come loose but if you can press and it disappears but does not get worse, then it is NOT the cable. SORRY to kill the other answers but this is the facts.
