A vertical row of pixels appeared on the LCD screen. Cable, inverter or LCD?

Couple of months ago, a vertical row of pixels was shown in yellow, and 2 weeks ago, a 4cm row of pixels on the right side of the LCD was blurred and after couple of days, it went completely white. Same this is now happening in the left side, and i’m afraid it will shortly turn into white as well.
Can this be caused by the graphic cable or by the inverter, or is this the LCD dying on me…?
By the way, it’s a Toshiba Satellite P105-S6084.
This problem is not caused by the inverter board because you still can see the image on the screen. The backlight still works, so it’s not the inverter.
Also, it’s not related to the LCD cable. A bad faulty LCD cable affects image on the whole LCD screen, not just on a part of the LCD. I don’t think that your problem is related to the cable.
Apparently your LCD screen is dying and you’ll have to replace it soon.
Just in case, test the laptop with an external monitor attached to the VGA port on the side of the laptop. Most likely the external video will be fine. Let me know if the external video output also has vertical rows of pixels. Because if it does (I really doubt it), there could be a problem with the video card.
