I dug my Mom's iMac G3 out of storage (In the basement). Anyways, upon booting up, i encountered the video only using 5" across of the screen than the screen is. I don't have an OS so I can't try software calibration

I think this is more serious than software. I have reset everything like PRAM or NVRAM or Power Manager. It doesn't budge. I am going to try to get a system on it with the screen being like this. But it's going to be hard with everything smooshed

I am going to go locate the iMac's Disc.

FYI, this is a 400Mhz FireWire DV

The system has been stored upside down in storage (No idea whose bright idea THAT was) and I think the gun is off. Am I right to assume this? Would this be easy to fix? Mind you, i don't have a problem with going into the monitor. Done it before, so If I have to pull the whole thing apart, i can.

Also, i don't think it's the PAV. There is no whining, and the screen is perfectly bright. So there aren't any signs of it being that.
