- I have an SE/30 that developed the same problem after I moved it about a
- year ago...talked to an authorized apple repairman, who told me that what
- happened was that the video tube rotated slightly with respect to the case
- (probably as a result of a bump to the side of the case). Apparently
- it's a quick matter to fix, although he _did not_ recommend that I do it
- myself...too much danger of touching the wrong thing and knocking myself
- across the room. He said it takes only minutes to fix, i.e., you'll have
- to pay your authorized dealer whatever their minimum service charge is.
- (There is was $25.) Alternatively, you can leave it alone, and he said there'd
- be no ill effect to your Mac. I haven't ever had mine fixed, as the tilt is
- small.
