Hello,

at our university we had also some nice AC 250 MHz instruments.
Someone showed also this 'strange' behaviour. I tried what a
Bruker service engineer told, but this does not work.
This was to change under the keyboard a potentiometer slightly
to get the Lock back into the middle.

Now I took a edding marker and marked this place on the screen.

After a reset the console went back ... and after a couple
of time back to this offset position ... 
It was easy to clean the mark with Propanol-2 and remark it ...

This was helpful.

Bye

Ulrich Haunz
