I have it, too.
The solution is quite simple. You only need a 20k-potentiometer and solder
it parallel to a condensator. As I don't have the curcuit-map of the monitor
handy at the moment, I can't tell you which one it was, though.
This patch was sent to me by Volker Brandt from Bonn (vbrandt@dbnuama1.bitnet,
I don't know if he still has this account, I only remember dimly there
changed something). Volker, if you are still around, can you tell which
condensator it was?

Disclaimer: I still haven't installed this (sigh). I can't guarantee, that
it works.
