A: This is a common issue with CRT based monitors, and televisions. What you describe is called vertical collapse. It is due to a failure in the vertical deflection amplifier I.C. This failure in your case is caused by the Sync decoder I.C. failing. These two chips are relatively inexpensive, and you should expect a repair of less than $80.00 at a local shop. You should not use the display, since the collapsed electron sweep can perminantly burn a dark line across the center of your display.
