PowerBook G4 Titanium 667 -- LCD Vertical Stripe Problem

Problem:   LCD displays 1 1/2-in vertical stripe on right-hand side of LCD.

Other notes:
  • Majority of the time, the stripe is aqua-colored and solid (occasionally a dull light-reddish color), and sometimes it flickers.
  • The stripe appears to blend with the underlying color, e.g., stripe that is aqua-colored on white background becomes greenish if it overlays yellow background.
  • Screen captures do not display the stripe.
  • Problem started about two months ago.
  • Adjusting the angle of the display or touching the upper right portion of the screen causes the discoloration to toggle or to go away temporarily ... maybe a second or two.
  • No problems reported with Apple Hardware Test PowerBook G4 SW version 1.2.2.
  • Stripe still displays whether booting from the internal drive in both OS X and OS 9, booting with the Software Install CD, or booting from external FireWire and USB hard drives ... even zapped the PRAM.
