You appear to be confirming what I had guessed before. Namely, that you did NOT have this screen focus problem when you first had your SE/30 operational, prior to any motherboard …

Gary,
Can you post a photo of the screen so we can make determine whether this is spot on to what Trag said? In the mean time, I'll verify this with my own SE/30, even if it's no…

Pulling the logic board and replacing caps should not affect your screen focus at all. I should know since I have yanked out my motherboard and put it back in dozens of times with…

Can you double check whether you get a mouse arrow in the top left-hand corner of the screen or if you even get a startup tone when you turn it on? Another culprit could be that t…
