Why has my scale stopped working?
Battery problems are often the cause behind digital scale display and function issues. Use a small, clean paintbrush or cotton swab to sweep the compartment free of dust or debris that might interfere with the battery connection. If that doesn’t solve the problem, try replacing the batteries with fresh ones.
Is it possible that my scale is broken?
