If its an older Sun monitor, there's an adjustment tool (plastic) on a clip
on top of the monitor once you remove the plastic "cover".  If its not
something you can fix given the adjustments visible once you take the back
cover off, DO NOT remove the protective metal cover - take it to a repair
shop.
