With nothing connected to Ch1, Volts/Div at 5V, and input set to GND (it actually makes no difference what it's set to), I can set the reference line to 1 division from the top using the Position pot. Assume the bottom line is numbered 0, then there are 9 horizontal lines, numbered 0 to 8, 8 being the top line. Reference line is on line 7. Here's how it changes as I rotate Volts/Div thru its settings:

5v -- line 7
2v -- line 5.5
1v -- line 3.4
500mv -- line 7
200mv -- line 5.5
100mv -- line 3.4
50mv -- line 7
20mv -- line 5.5
10mv -- line 3.4
5mv -- just below the bottom of the display (line minus something)

So there is a pattern: 5v = 500mv = 50mv and so on. This repetition repeats for ch2 when the same deltas.

Hope that makes sense. I'm about to try changing the A5 board with a known good one.
