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.* 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.

the only reliable scales are beam balance. ALL the standonm pressiure
ones are in the end utter ****.

Agreed - if I had the space for a beam balance...
Had an electronic scale once, crap, went back to the Krupps mechanical one
that was old when I aquired it in the early '90s. Accuracy: unknown;
consitency: good.
