Thin horizontal line the screen. Nothing else. Help!!!

I recently had my pentranic 27" monitor cap kitted. It worked fine for a day or two and the. when I turn it on today there is just a thin horizontal line on the monitor. What could cause this and how can I fix it? thank you for any help you can give me in this matter
 
Find the vertical IC/transistor and inspect it. Might be cold solder. Might be dead. Might be a cheap cap that died...
 
I'm fairly new to this as well. sounds like vertical collapse. If you can't see any cold solder joints around the IC, try using a wooden object to poke around the IC with power on, to see if you get a full pic. If so, then you have isolated the area at least. I haven't worked on your specific monitor , but this link may be useful. http://www.arcaderepairtips.com/2011/04/07/repairing-monitor-collapse-issues/
