After almost exactly three years of multiple-hours-a-day of good service, my late 2006 iMac 17" (2 Ghz/4 GB, 10.5.8) has started exhibiting a crazy, crazy display issue.

There is a straight line, about one-inch thick, extending vertically down the left side. It flickers, but never goes away and is discolored/washed-out but still allows visibility. Photos attached.

It's there right on boot-up, on multiple accounts and booting from install disk. It's obviously a hardware failure, correct?

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Noah
