Distortion at the top of M991 Monitor
Hi,
I have a Dell M991 19" Monitor that came with my Dimension 8100 almost 3 years ago (2 years 9 months). In the last two days there is distoriton in the top 20 or 30 lines of the monitor, with the very top 5 or 6 lines turning black. It doesnt occur at any regular interval, sometimes it occurs every 3 seconds, and sometimes 5 or 10 minutes apart.
I have tried reseting to factory settings and hooking my monito up to another system, but the problem persists. Does this mean my monitor is on its last legs? Please help.

How can you see the horizontal lines on top of the monitor? Did the picture shifts downward? There are magnetic deflectors along the yoke of the CRT. Did you drop the monitor? A shop may be able to tweak the deflector plates resulting in an acceptable image.
The picture tube is OKAY.

I mean that the top lines of the visible part of the monitor (the screen, I thought that would be obvious) turn off, and a few lines below the non functioning part become distorted and they seem to mix together. The actual screen does not move downwards. And no the monitor was not dropped, it simply began doing this 3 days ago when I turned it on in the morning. I simply want to know 2 things:
1. Can this be fixed? and how much?
2. If not, will the lines progress further down leaving me with no picture?
Thanks (I hope this clarifies any confusion as to the problem),
Arne
