    Sometime the SSD card causes this problem. I met the similar problem, last time my 64GB SSD card was burnt.

    I wouldn't say the sensor is dead on this. You clearly have a problem, but saying the sensor is "dead" implies that it doesn't work at all. Contact RED Support. The best thing to do before you go to the public about this.

    Good luck!

    looks like a data corruption/glitch.

    Doesnt look like a sensor issue, sensors can have random pixel problems or just stop working entirely but a vertical line on an image is not directly related to a hardware problem or a verticle "dead streak" on the sensor. More likely it's a bug or software/firmware issue, or like Yang said a record problem. I'm just shooting in the dark here, I'm no expert but can't imaging it's a corrupt sensor.
