so how did you get it to read half the actually weight? did you have a 150g weight?

I'm really unsure. I've had the scale for years and it has always been reliable. This is the first time I've screwed with calibration, though it has been calibrated correctly by others at least 3 times. I didn't even know how to calibrate it right, I just wanted to screw around and hopefully get similar results as you. I wasn't even aware of it's max being 300g until it began reading everything as half. :shrug:

Oh well, I just need to do a little math every time I use it now. lol

I just put two nickels on it after it prompted the calibration mode. After that it stopped giving 5.00 and instead gave a 2.50~ reading for one nickel. I was thinking of getting a new one anyway, but now I'll buy the calibration weights too.

yea if it calibrates at 300grams you should calibrate with 6 nickles, what did you calibrate it with to read half?

just the two nickels. I don't know what happened.


Also, weird thing. After I edited my last post and entered it, everything on screen flipped to the opposite side like I was looking through the comp from behind it. Mirrored, I guess. Freaked me out for a second.

Sounds like a cool error

huh your scale must calibrate at 20grams, if so you should be able to calibrate it with 4 nickles to get back to normal.

hah i got my scale back to normal, i just found somethings around my place... one shot glass 2 nickles and a dime weighed 100.0grams on my untampered with scale so i calibrated it back with that and a nickle reads exactly 5 grams again... yay no having to by a calibration weight.

but this is really cool still i won't use this to weight anything that is supposed to be exactly 1mg but for measuring like things in the 10-20mg range i will probably change calibration to x10 to try and get the most accurate reading possible until i get a mg scale :cool:
