Hi everybody!
Am having a bit of trouble getting the compensation right on the 10x probe. After initially running self calibration and looking at the built-in square wave generator, everything looks good at 1V/div. Looking at the same waveform at 20mV/div, there seems to be quite a lot of over-compensation. After I've fiddled with the capacitor a little bit and everything looks good at 20mV/div and then looking at 1V/div, there's some under-compensation happening.
You can fiddle the capacitor to your heart's content, there doesn't seem to be a setting that works both at 1V and 20mV/div. Now I do hear a relay clicking inside the scope when switching up to 1V/div, so that must mean there's a separate vertical deflection circuit for higher voltages, right? Since the under-compensation can only be seen when going up higher from 1V/div, that must mean the seperate circuit is at fault, rather then the input or probe? (I tried 3 probes on both channels, issue is consistent.)
I also took some snapshots of the problem, these can be found on imgur here:

Can you give me any advice what else to try? Or should I just send it back as faulty? Or am I just showing my stupid here?
