Not really a DIY question (unless it turns out that there is in fact a

I have a bathroom scale with an LED display (branded Weight Watchers but
I don't know the actual maker) which is a good few years old now.Â* It's
always been completely reliable but over the last couple of days the
display has refused to stabilise: it flicks up and down over a range of
about half a stone, never stopping on any one reading.

I'm assuming that it's an electronics problem rather than a mechanical
one, but am I correct?

Many thanks.







Are they on a firm/hard surface? We've some bathroom scales in our
en-suite which do this on the bathroom carpet- which has a soft pile. On
the bedroom carpet (more of a berber pile), they are fine. Put them in
the other bathroom (a tiled floor) and they are fine.

It could be they've been moved and a fresh bit of carpet pile is causing
your problem.
