Should be in settings under display

Get a new keyboard, and I would suggest wired so you are not constantly changing batteries.

Your NEC 1970GX monitor as two video inputs; an old-school VGA socket (socket and cable connectors usually coloured blue), and a DVI-D digital socket (socket and connectors usually coloured white). Purchase either a new VGA-VGA cable, or if your PC has a white DVI-D socket, a DVI-DVI cable, both relatively cheap options and test this simple option before any further troubleshooting. Many computers and monitors will go to sleep (automatically switch off) after not being used after an adjustable period of time. If this is your problem, you will need to adjust the setting (in power options of both the monitor and PC) to a setting suitable to your usage. You can also, in power options, usually turn off "automatic sleep".

Can you just format or wipe the drive and reload from scratch? You may need another working machine with which to conduct the operation.

Your monitor is no longer in production but there might be some support for it. Go here to see what's available: Product Support You might need to upgrade.

any electronic item can be repaired but as you said its 10 Years old .... i think you should go for NEW.

Wipe the drive again and then install Linux Lite on it. Then everything will work fine. Be sure to install the i386 version so there won't be any compatibility issues with hardware.

the best way to tell is look for an ovel head as they are flat normally.see pic

Cables usually give up first. If you can substitute the cable or another monitor try that. If you see the same thing on the monitor, you have eliminated the cable. If you have another monitor you can beg borrow or steal from a friend, try doing that. If the problem still follows, then you have eliminated the monitor and the video card is the only thing left. If your PC has a built-in video card then the motherboard is toast

Does it write data OK but not scribe?? Possibly it's just dusty after years of sitting. Get a foam swab or long q tip and wet with alcohol a little, and clean off the laser lens inside. Carefully. Or use one of those disk-based cleaner thingies.

The problem is definitely with your monitor. Yes, you can have it fixed but with the price of parts and labor it is not cost effective and it will be cheaper for you to get a new unit with a warranty to boot!

Your monitor is failing, replace it.

The video card in the computer could be going bad too or the driver for the video has corrupted. Try reloading the video drivers in the PC first.
