Omg an antique monitor
a relic CRT monitor?????really?
is it really MV320????or a typo.
MV500s are CRT (heavy cathode RAY TUBES)
you model is rare now, no photos of it by you.so...
if not a CRT pig.
then it must be a flat screen monitor
the first ones, up to year 2010 used crapppy
CCFL back lamp tubes that are bad now. all are.
(unless never used)
call CCFL fail these ways.
dim.
white now yellow
dead.
blinks, or is intermittent,or strobes.l

the backlamps CCLF tubes are dead. all do that, or just die .
crt monitors
are junk and a fire hazard, trash it.

CRT fails more ways
sure dim,sure dead.
but it has 3 guns , RGB , red green blue.
the red gun loves to go weak first , red phosphors
are weak (a physics deal)
one trick (long long ago is to up the red gun levels, to compensate.
or lower Green/blue guns.
gun means "electron gun" deep inside the CRT neck

The CRT has even more bad effects, failed.
a huge endless list , if you want.we have it.
with photos

    yellow on a CRT is formed
    when the green gun is powerful
    and the red is weak and blue dead (or off).
    RGB, see your wiki on how to mix the primary colors to get yellow,
    so my guess is the blue gun is dead, at the least. (and happens this old)
    see, there are 3 guns there and 2 more to fail , from older black and white, or what we call monochrome.
    in old old days, we'd (1960s)we'd put on a gun booster to get all 3 guns more powerful
    then balance that. (TV days old)
    in your CRT, monitor there is a OSD display
    if you look there, there is a gun balance adjustment, play there, and get lucky.

    OSD is menu button, on screen display

    stay away from the rays, and do not touch the 15,000 volts inside, or get to see Saint Peter, too soon, if you get my drift.

SOURCE: compaq 7540 colour looses red color

check the pin # 1 of video input cable { broken or Bent }
if it is ok then there must be a problem with the cable or RGB Processing Circuit { Normally Dry Soldering of a faulty IC in the circuit of CRT BASE} .

SOURCE: Monitor: Compaq TFT5015 Displays vertical lines

Check that the signal cable from the computer is firmly connected and that there are no bent pins in either end. If the trouble continues, the problem is in the monitor itself. Given the low replacement cost, it's uneconomical to try repairing these.

Shows half screen only!

if you can't expand your screen size from the pulldown menu or vertically or horizontally center the picture one or two of the centering coils could be partially burned out. the monitor uses electromagnets around the crt neck to center the picture. varying the center controls apply or take away voltage from the coils to center the image. may be time for a new monitor

Compaq computer freezes or hangs

Please have a look at your device manager to see if everything is OK with your modem. To do so, please find the "My computer" icon and RIGHT click on it, choose properties from the menu and then select the hardware tab. Then click the device manager button. If you see a yellow sign next to the modems then there must be something wrong with your modem. Uninstall it and install the driver again, either from your CDs or by downloading the driver from the modem manufacturer's website.
