Not really a DIY question (unless it turns out that there is in fact a DIY
fix), so apologies.

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. 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?

It could be a mechanical problem if one of the feet is broken internally
or you now have a cracked trace to one of the load cells.
