I gots me a skinny vertical line right up and down the middle of my blasteroids 19" monior. Is this usually a cap issue or could it be something else? Thanks.

Without pics of the problem and knowing what the monitor make and model is, this is all just speculation.
Good luck on "just buying a new monitor". New monitors are few and far in between, not to mention pretty costly.
if the monitor is mounted sideways, then you have no verticle deflection, which makes more sense. Usually, a verticle IC is used for deflection and are known to go bad. They aren't difficult to replace and are inexpensive for the most part as well. If you list your chassis, you wil get more info.

One of the worst pos monitors on the market, but it is not my game.
What's wrong with them? Are they prone to failure?
