FIXED: I had 2 thin black lines going up the TV vertically for about a year. I noticed if I pressed the edge of the panel where the line was going to the bottom, I would go away. So I put chip bag clips there, to keep pressure on it. Worked for about a year. Then a week ago, a green line showed up. It was thicker and bright, but only went halfway up my screen from the bottom. After a few minutes it would crash and the TV would power off and led blink red. I was upset, severely. Was out of warranty eligibility for a few years when this happened. Finally a lightbulb went off, I tried the panel refresh in Settings/Display. We'll it worked. No black lines, no green line, amd no clips. Lol hope it works for you, I couldn't find anywhere that recommend trying it. Not Reddit, or Sony community, or any place i looked. I posted on reddit and the Sony Community, and here now. I hope it helps someone out
I have the 65'' XR A80J. I went through a lot of trouble just finding info on, and getting the back cover off. I went through your check list of things to determine the issue. I pushed on the screen bottom and the line would blink away. I then pushed in areas by the line and it went away altogether. Awesome! I only had one line fortunately. I have no idea of the time and possibly money saved finding this video.

Dude thanks it worked on my tv as well!!
If it happens again, read my comment. I just used the panel refresh and didn't have to open up the TV
Great video! Very Helpful, took me less than 5 min to fix my large block of red lines. Thank you for posting it!
