Hello Mail34898!

It is better to check first the terminals to where the battery is inserted. Corrosion build up in the terminals may lead to improper contact with the battery.

You can remove the corrosion by dipping a cotton swab in a lemon juice or vinegar and rubbing it to affected area. The acid will help dissolve it. You can also try rubbing it with any metal to expose its contact surface.

Hope that fix it and make your device work again.

Hi,
I just had a play with mine as I wanted to change the weight mode too.
The solution is this:
While the machine is OFF, press and hold the button for about 5-10 seconds.
The display will go from 8888 to show the weight measurement (lb oz) at the top of the display.
Press the button to select the weight you want.
You should be able to continue with your baking :o)
Hope this helps
