Scale Problem

So yeah I bust out little digital scale last night to weigh somethin out with a friend and when I turn the device on I get an error message. I haven't used the scale in a few weeks but other than that it is brand new and this is not a battery issue. I look in my manual to fix the error message and find out the problem is related to calibration and can be easily remedied through a series of steps. However, when I was going through the process of recalibration, I realize I need a 100 gram weight to recalibrate it accurately...

Anybody else familar with recalibration using an outside weight? I also don't have any kind of weight that's exactly 100 grams so where could I get one. Or is there any common item out there that weighs exactly 100 grams by chance lol?...

Thanks. Stay high. :rasta:

umm... im not sure about that... but generaly (all the scales ive had) if err comes up... it means to much weight has been put on them

a us nickel weighs 5.0 grams on the dot, so when that happened to me, to recalibrate it i used 20 nickels

yeah I have two sets of nickel weights. They work great!

hey..nickels.. that's a great idea.. I think that pretty much takes care of this thread.

Thanks. Stay high. :rasta:

I had the same problem (well not the error msg but the 100g weight)
I had alot of luck and found a calibration weight in my bro's scale box

Yeah now that I have been lookin into this I found out most scales come with a calibration weight right in the box but I guess mine didn't? ..Although it very possibly could have I just remember bein in a rush to get rid of the packaging and other stuff that would make it obvious I had a scale on me lol..
