Excuse my ignorance of the mac hardware, but I have a basic SE/30 with a tilted screen scan problem, i.e. the scanned image on the 9" screen is not aligned with the plastic frame, but is tilted to the left by approximately 10-15 degrees. I know it should be fixed by adjusting some screw but I don't know which one. Any help or comments would be appreciated.

Any repair shop ought to be able to do this fix cheap (even an authorized dealer, though I'd avoid those if you have an option and the thing isn't under warrenty). It involves rotating the yoke (coil around the neck of the picture tube). It is definitely not just a matter of turning a screw on a circuit board, and involves being around high voltages, so I suggest leaving it to a pro unless you're familiar with working on TVs. Seems odd the problem would occur with age, though. I'd expect it to be present from day one or happen when somebody installed memory or a disk drive or something and managed to knock the yoke out of alignment. In either case, I'd expect you could get it fixed free -- under warrenty or by the company who screwed it up. Russell Owen owen@raven.phys.washington.edu Astronomy Dept.
