The lcd is bad,for some strange reason this is becoming common with Imacs.I recently repaired about 30 with the same problem.The techs at apple wont say why this is hapening they prefer to replace parts.In your case you will have to replace the lcd display and the cable from the display to the logicboard and not the logicboard.
Good luck

My iMac has had a reappearing yellow vertical line down the left of my screen for at least two months now!

Maybe the video card. Try to spray with electronic contact cleaner the connections (pc cable to monitor).
