The focus voltage is determined by a voltage divider from the HV supply.  In
most new monitors, this is integrated with the flyback transformer assembly.

Chances are something shorted out in there and you will have to replace the
flyback assembly.  Not cheap, but not exactly the list price of the monitor
either...
