It is very likely that the chassi is magnetized. Use something fairly soft like a hammer made of rubber and strike the chassis as hard as you dare to degauss it.
Are you sure? I don't want to go screwing around and mess it up even more. I was told by another person that it was because the case had become magnetized.
That's too bad :( I was going to do the same actually, because it said it could handle 250 volt max and our lines voltage is now about 241 volts. BUT..... it is 241 volts rms, not peak to peak. Peak to peak is much higher, and would probably destroy the scope, so I didn't try it ;D
There should be a geometry control inside the unit which you can adjust to remove this. Check the calibration section of the manual.

Do these things have a degaussing switch?
next time don't do it :D
