Ok.. if it is a work computer, then you really need not worry. Contact your IT department and tell them your monitor is giving you trouble. They'll fix it for you.\n\nIt could also be that there is no problem with the monitor. \nProbably some magnetic disturbances around the monitor led it to be distorted.\n\nWhat you can do is, leave the monitor off. unplug it. for about 15 - 20 minutes. until cools down completely. \nThen turn it on. \nThen "Degauss" it\n\nIf you dont know how to degauss, then read further. \nGo through the "Menu settings" of the monitor. \n\neach monitor has different way to access the menu settings, so i dont know how to do it on yours because you did not mention any specs of your monitor.\n\nbrowse through the settings to find for something called "Degauss" and select it.\n\nThe monitor may flickr for a second and come back on .. .. \nIf that does not help.. then your monitor is DEAD. \n\nhope that helps.

I suggest using cleaning wipes made for monitors such as Fellowes Screen Cleaning Wipes. It's made specifically for CRT & LCD monitors. It's alcohol and streak free and has anti-static properties. Just make sure never to push down on the LCD when you're cleaning/wiping or you could give your monitor a dead pixel or two.\n\nHere's more info on the product: http://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/catalog/sku.asp?ID=FE99702&LEVEL=SK&PR=Q71&SID=68EACB0PKQDR9HPDWW5MU2WPRDJ1BK58\n\nIt's for a local stationery supply place in Sydney, but I'm sure you can find the equivalent where ever you are.

You should follow the directions in your notebook manual.\n\nTo be on the safe side, I say LCD cleaner. Some of the best is the Monster cleaner. I know, Monster Cables are overpriced. But for $19 you get a spray bottle that can clean just about any screen, lasts for a long, long time, and also comes with a scratchproof microfiber cloth.\n\nGet the Monster stuff- very potent, and the value (ironically and atypically) is great.

No need for a new laptop, painless job infact.\n\nChange the LCD. Go to www.screentek.com and they have a whole list of compatible laptops that the monitor is for.\n\nIn order to get it off, is like snapping the plastic food boxes from restaurants: http://www.screentekinc.com/lcd-removal-instructions.shtml.\n\nOr, buy the screen from eBay, but as it's not new, I don't now how good it still is.

It sounds like the settings on the monitor itself. Usually there are some buttons on the monitor that will activate a menu so that you can adjust the viewing area. The options usually include making the viewing area wide/narrow, tall/short, moving it around, and another one that I can't think of the name.. This last one changes how "square" it looks.\n\nMess around with those options, you cannot do any real damage, and it is easy to undo.

Well, LCD's don't require much care, but if you want to keep your monitor in good shape there are a few things you can do.\n\nYou should never touch the screen. An LCD screen is sensitive and very easily damaged by both pressure and the oils from your skin.\n\nSecondly, like anything else, you should turn it off when not in use. LCD's don't suffer burn in like CRT monitors, but it's still a good idea to turn the monitor off to save power.\n\nThird, you should always keep your monitor clean. Never clean it with Glass Plus or ammonia based cleaners. Instead, use the cleaners suggested in your manual. The only one that I've seen do all my LCD's and other screens (CRT's, DLP's, Plasmas, etc.) is the Monster TV Cleaning Kit. Usually Monster Products are overhyped, but it comes with more value than any other screen cleaner then before. You get a gigantic bottle (can't notice how much I've used in 1 year- I clean often, and it looks like I haven't opened it), a large and nice microfiber cloth, and it is more effective- one spray will get you through 90% of the time, and always in two. Only $20, which is a small price to pay for an LCD monitor:\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16812155532\n\nFinally, always handle your LCD carefully, at it is very sensitive to drops and getting "dead/stuck pixels" (either pixels that don't work or are stuck a particular color) from bad handling.\n\nIn conclusion? With a little care and caution, your LCD will work well for years to come.

Depends on the type of monitor you have - lets assume the old tube type monitor.  In that case, the entire monitor inside the shell is a big vaccuum tube with something called an electron gun in the back.  There is phosporous compounds on the back of the glass.   The electron gun fires a particle beam at the back of the glass starting at the top left and then move to the right.  WHen it gets to the right side, it goes back to the left and down a line (I won't got into interlacing - you can look that up).  This continues until the beam gets to the lower right corner and then it shuts off and goes back to the top left and starts all over.  \n\nSo, there is a constant beam going across your screen in that typewriter fashion - it happens many times per second (depends on the monitor - this is your refresh rate).  What happens when the beam hits the glass - well, the phosphorous glows.  For each little spot on the screen, there are three colors - red, blue, and green - that can be lit up by the particle beam.  The combination of colors gives you the screen.  The more spots you have that you can light up as a rgb unit, the better the resolution on your screen.\n\nHow is this electron gun moved?  Well, it doen't really move.  The  direction of the beam is altred by electromagnets aroudn the yolk of the glass tube (the yoke is the smaller part near the back).  power is applied to the magnets to control or bend the electorn beam.  These control magnets are controlled by the inputs from the video card from the main pc.\n\nSo, if you opened up an old tube TV or tube based (analog) monitor, you will find a big vaccuum tube wiht wires running around it and a circuit board or two.\n\nLCD and plasma work a bit differently.

Under Start, click Control Panel, then Display and then click Screensaver, then it should have a little globe and say Power, click on Power and it will have a spot that says Turn Off Monitor, click on that a select Never, your Screen Saver will run continuosly until you touch the mouse.

It is probably NOT the fault of Windex.  It isn't too cold to break the glass monitor, and it probably did not drip onto electronics or other components from the front.  Basically, I have DROWNED monitors, both front, top and back to clean many years of dust, dirt and black YUK from monitors before.  \n\nIf your monitor is nearly 7 years old (let's say, 1999 vintage) then your monitor was probably getting close to death.  \n\nWhile the timing might not be good for your dad right now, a Flat Panel Monitor would be a better choise as a replacement.  Here's why: \n\n1.  Lower Running Cost\n2.  Lasts two to three times longer\n3.  Less Heat buildup\n4.  Less desk space wasted\n5.  You will love him at least twice as much.\n\nBut YES, you will clean your new LCD Flat Panel monitor as directed. \n\nSo be sure to say "Thanks Dad".

Pick up a can of "dust off" it is compressed air.  If the dust got in, it should be able to be blown out, or at least off to the side where it isn't in your drawing.  I personally would just dissassemble the screen carefully.  They do come apart.  But, if you are not sure of yourself.. then I would try the air.  It is non conductive, non abrasive and should do the job for under $5 and a few seconds.\nGood luck.. TonyD

You should have MSPaint.. if you cannot find it : \nControl Panel->Add&#92;Remove programs->Add&#92;Remove Windows Components->Click on " Accessories and Utilities " \n->Click "Details"-> in the opened Window Click on "Accessories"\n->Click "Details"-> in the opened Window CHECK the box "Paint"->Click "Ok" -> Click "Ok"->Click "Next"...

1. Turn monitor upside down\n\nOr\n\n2. http://ffdshow.sourceforge.net/tikiwiki/tiki-view_articles.php\n\nAnd download the program and install it.
