What could cause a thin vertical red line to appear on my LCD television?

Asked by flutherother (34864

I first noticed this a week ago and I cured it by switching the set off for a few minutes. It happened again this morning and I had to switch the set on and off several times before it cleared. Any idea what causes this?

I don’t know but how long have you had it and is it still under warranty?

Are you getting this when you turn it off and on only with the remote control?

I had that happen on a computer screen when it got a little wet in the rain.

@zensky The TV is out of warranty I’m afraid
@Brian1946 It happens when using the remote and the TV on/off switch
@worriedguy Thanks, I’ll try that
@filmfann No it hasn’t got wet.
Thanks for your replies.
