You're now going to turn the contrast ( the slider on the left) all the way up, and take your soldering iron and gently move it back and forth on the ribbon cable below the screen.
one picture should show where to exactly put the soldering iron.
The picture does not completely match the description.
You should set it to 450, according to another repair demonstration.
There are two screws indicated but not mentioned and there is no ribbon cable in sight, unless it's behind that brown plastic cover looking thing. I have to assume I'm to remove the indicated screws and would see a ribbon cable behind it and under the screen? Otherwise, maybe you run the iron in between the two screws and the brown thing is somehow the cable? This is the most I've ever been puzzled by one of these guides. I'd just hope when I got to this part I'll be able to determine what's being said.

The red circled screws have no part of this step.You need to remove the rubber strip you see in the picture that's below and along the bottom of the screen.
Set iron to 450
Run iron along areas that coincide with the problem lines.
Replace rubber strip when done. -

Hi, this is the second time I attempt this fix, the first time it worked perfectly. The problem is that with this second machine there's a couple of pixel lines that have not tickled back to black even though I have been patiently going over them for quite some time (2 rounds of 10-15 min) is there anything else that I could try or should I just go on over the same area until I see something happen? Thanks in advance
Use this guide linked below understand where to place the iron under the screen. Step 4 doesn't seem to contain the proper images or details of this step here well enough.
