If you go into the options it should have a "degausse" (sp?) option. Usually looks like a magnet, if anything will fix it, that will.

What type of monitor is it? Assuming its a CRT, try degaussing it (it's a setting accessed through the buttons on the monitor, usually a magnet symbol in the on-screen menu)

if it dosnt have a deguass or w/e, i saw how u might can fix it on techtv. if u have a drill then i put a magnet on it an run the drill slowly place it near the screen, not quite touching. and run it around the perimeter of the glass part starting and the lower right corner. once at the top right corner, slowly bring it to the center, and pull it away, this should fix it. cause i saw it a while ago on tv.

Make your cousin pay for it. He obviously has no respect for other people's stuff.

If he doesn't have the money, ask his parents for the money.

Should have gotten LCD, mine dosnt get anything wrong. Even a drop on the floor to a magnet, this 4 year old LCD still stands up to the world:happysad:

Also when I got mine, they were expensive, my parents paid $604 for it in 2001
