Hi,
the ribbon cables connected to the plasma display have built in chip technology. If one of the cables is bad, it may caun se the line.
Lines can also be caused by a faulty buffer board or faulty sustain board.
Less common, but still possible a faulty plasma display.

Regards.

The screen has failed. It has about 14 ribbons running along the bottom edge that connect the Boards to the screen, it is glued to the glass and not replaceable. One of the 1000 or so contacts have failed.

It is not good news though at all, screens are shockingly expensive.

Sorry.

LG plasma 50 inch tv with a fine vertical black line in the center of the screen that runs from the top of the screen to the bottom

Try changing the input device to something you are sure works. Switch off TV manually, switch off power, remove plug and retry after 48 hours. If problem persists, please refer it to a qualified service technician.

Pink color horizontal lines comes on and off

That issue is with one or more of the board that drive the plasma screen. If you have a warranty, you will want to call LG for a free repair.

Sorry, but to trouble shoot that issue would require some TV tools and knowledge of electronics. There are several boards involved with processing the picture image to the plasma screen.
I hope this information has helped you.
Good Luck.

Sony WEGA KE-37XS910

This TV has a very expensive panel... we are talking $3000 core charge alone! It comes complete with all the lower buffer boards (which from the sound of it, you are having a problem with). Individual boards for this defect are not available on repair parts list I know of. A panel is what you need, PN: 9-885-063-33
