Digital Scale Repair...THIS MAY BE YOUR ISSUE!

What happens here

The first step in the repair process is to disassemble the scale. Begin by removing the screws from the back of the scale. The creator's son assists in this task, using a Leatherman tool with a screwdriver bit. After unscrewing, carefully detach the side panels that contain the setting buttons. These panels might be clipped or lightly screwed in, so gentle prying may be required.

Goal: Gain access to the internal components of the scale
