    chinease scale!!!!!!!

    my 6 month old $50 made in china digital scale went down today. used it maybe 20 times in 6 months. the digital read out just shows a blue screen no read out. it has been raining here for 3 days but the scale was inside my shop and didnt get wet. any one got any ideas about this. I hate this chinease crap. The ad of course forgot to mention it was chinease crap.

    That's just how it works (pardon the pun). We send them mountains of recycled plastic and aluminum cans, they send us mountains of plastic goods(please pardon the other pun), for which we send them mountains of money. Forget about the aluminum cans coming back, in any form we might think we want, they use those to build themselves new military armaments

    meanwhile, back on the subject of why the screen might be blue, my neopost scale lost the screen once and i took the cover off, it was a loose ZIF connector to the screen ribbon cable, shortly after i had moved it several times over a 6 month, 600 mile trip (it has a tilting screen)

    Just so long as they don't send those back over in a way we don't want.

    Chinese. dirty knees, japenese look at these....rob zombie quote from devils rejects

    Lol on a serious note, nothing is made like it used to be. Try like the others said, take it apart, and look for loose connectors. If not head out to staples and get a new one. Ebay ones are junk.

    I wish I could Hypo. We've had enough rain the past two weeks to last me the rest of the summer. Can't get nothing done, got three loads ready to go out and about three loads to pick up.
