Is there any way to repair nonfunctional rows and columns in LCD
displays
such as in inexpensive games etc.?

i'm sure others with more experience than me will contribute, but
AFAIK the 'fix' for this sort of fault is panel replacement. working
on individual 'rows and columns' is not something i've ever heard
of....

Yup. The rows and columns are driven by chips that are bonded to a
flexible PCB that connects to the LCD itself. The chips cannot be
replaced.
 
This problem can be caused by dirty or oxidized contacts.

LCDs are often "attached" to the PC board with a conductive rubber strip
(not solder). Lifting the LCD and cleaning the board often fixes the
problem.

PCB, there are companies out there who will do this. As to the economics
of replacing them on a TV or monitor...

The panels I've looked at lately all have chips bonded to the LCD
substrate. The are not packaged but are raw die located along the vertical
and horizontal edges. Only the original manufacturer of the panel might be
able to replace them, but I'm not even sure they could.

Thanks guys, ASFAIK the electronics are working correctly, the problem
developed after an impact and is in the zebra strip conductors/rubber strip
contacts (I did not know the terminology). Would isopropyl alcohol be a
suitable cleaning agent?

If they are connected to the electronics using a zebra strip yes. If
the connection is hard then usually not.
