Monitor- only half the screen shows

I have a Gateway 2000 monitor 17" and one day only half the screen shows. If you try and use the buttons to move the screen down, it just curves around and wont go past a certain point. Whats wrong, is there anything i can do to fix it?
It is a common hardware fault. The only choice is to submit it to a technician. If it´s still under warranty, return it to the vendor.

Yup! But it would be probably be cheaper to buy a new than to have it repaired.

Here in the UK, I have found it far less expensive to have monitors repaired at a back street electronics repair shop rather than at the computer shop.
Usually give a free estimate is provided before proceeding.
Normally £25 - £40. Any more, and a replacement should be considerd.
Good luck - keep us posted.

The piece that is failing in your monitor seems to be what we call the "vertical" down here. It's cheap to repair.
