I've been using this scale for 2 years. Stopped working this week; won't turn on, even after inserting fresh batteries. Any tips?

ditto here J. White ... 26 months to a great looking pile of USELESS stainless, electronics but a beautiful (non-working) LCD... for a premium product this is ridiculous

Just the usual: clean the battery contacts; make sure your inserting batteries correctly.

There does seem to be a durability issue with this scale. After about a year and a half of daily use, the front buttons gave out and I can no longer switch from grams to ounces, or zero out the scale. I will be purchasing a different scale for a replacement.

No, except to clean the battery connections, contact Cuisinart, they have been helpful to me in the past.

Hi Eric: Mine is about the same age as yours and is still working although I don't use it very much. I have another one of a different brand and had a few problems caused by flour contaminating the circuit board. After some "treatment" it now works. Try that with the C

Eric,Sorry, I can't help you. I've never had the problem. I would recommend calling Cuisinart customer service.

Mine only lasted less than a year. Tried 2 new batteries, still would not work. Cost more to return it to distributor than a new Taylor scales cost. Taylor will be my choice in the future. Also, it would not fit in the cheaper postal box, because the scales are over sized requiring a larger box that is more expensive to ship back.

Sounds like you have a faulty scale...I suggest returning it for replacement. This has never happened with mine.

most likely it is a locked system problem. you might need to get a replacement. I have had two different scales. one works great the other I sent back. If the previous suggestions of removing, waiting a few minutes and then reinstalling the battery might work. if not replace.

I havne't had to replace my batteries once and I've had my scale for 2-3 years. However, my scale only gets occasional use.

under the scale is a black tab. open it and pop the battery one. you probably need to stick a thin screwdriver under the battery to help pop it out

I often leave my scale powered on until it turns itself off, and the weight (even measuring in grams) remains zero. A couple of ideas: 1. does your unit turn itself off after a minute or so? If not, that's probably a sign it is bad and should be replaced (for free IMO), 2. have you reset the tare by pressing the power button (not enough to turn it off) and seen the weight continue to increase? Again, just my opinion, but it sounds like MIRA should replace your unit for free, though I'm unsure how long you've had it, so that will factor in. Good luck.

I don't know. Maybe try new batteries, if it still didn't work I would sent it back. The one had had would turn on but wasn't accurate at all (would give vastly different weights within minutes of each other). Good luck!

I have had this scale for two years and have not had to replace batteries yet. It is a beautiful scale. I love it. No problem with it chewing through batteries.

Not sure...I imagine it has some sort of warranty. But I will let you know that I am very pleased with this scale. Glad I bought it.

You must be very careful when you change the battery not to turn the scale upside down and press down. I read this in one of the reviews before I bought my scale. I don't know how to fix the problem.

I had a pamphlet that was in the box from the manufacturer...I am pretty certain that there was a toll free number to contact if you have any questions or problems. One of the reviews on the Amazon site also included a review from someone who had issues, he contacted the company and they replaced his scale quickly.

Your scale says hi? weird. There is several reasons a scale does that. One being too much weight, two someone programed it that way (my bro did that to me before), or three the batteries are dying.

try taking the batteries out for a minute. replace the batteries set the scale on a hard surface, put your foot on it and press down 00 should appear. take your foot off and it should be ready to go.

I would try to take the battery out then place it back in. I know for sure that the results I receive is accurate because after weighing myself for about a week, I went to the doctors and the scale read exactly the same. I do know that where you store your scale is also major. The bathroom is not good. The moisture and hot steam will disrupt it's normal function. I had one similar and the bathroom destroyed it. I hope this was helpful.

You might try rebooting the unit by taking out the batteries for a few minutes and then re-inserting. Be sure to re-zero the scale afterwards (and any time after you move it), and that it's on a hard surface (not carpet, for example).

I'm not sure how to fix that, but you should contact the company & see if they can suggest something or send a replacement. My scale died after a few months and they told me "Sorry you are having trouble with the scale. The scale has a 2 year warranty. Please contact us at 925-460-0900 or at support@mirabrands.com and we will send you a replacement. " i called & left a message that my scale died, and they shipped a replacement unit out to me right away
