Packard Bell A720 odd problem

Monitor picture too wide and bent on the sides, you can push the buttons and see the adjuster slide but it has no effect. Any suggestions on what commonly fails?

Hi!

The fifteen inch versions of these monitors usually have capacitors go bad. I've also found cold solder joints inside.

If you need to make internal adjustments don't expect to find much if anything inside these. They are very cheap monitors.

I fixed a monitor with this problem once and it was a bad transistor that controlled the pincussion. I found it by probing each pin of the CPU chip in the monitor until I found one with a voltage that varied with the slider on the screen, then I traced that to the transistor it drives and that was the problem.
