Got a 27" TV, several years old, that the vertical seems to have gone bad
in. All I have is a thin, bright, horizontal line approx mid-screen.

I'm thinking of opening it up, pulling the vertical board, and replacing it.

Should that work?

And you think there is an actual separate board for the vertical?

Respectfully, if that's your plan, I would suggest modifying it to:
"Take TV to reputable repair shop and have them repair it."
