Stopped working thought it was the battery
Basically, the frisbee comment is on the mark. I called Taylor. a nice person walked me through a calibration exercise: take batteries out; stand on scale for 7 sec.; get off; put batteries back in (assuming they are still good); step on scale and if it reads ---- step off again, then back on to weigh yourself. My scale's display was blank, not -----, so they said calibration was unsuccessful & so I mailed it back to the NM address on the bottom. It just fits w/ padding diagonally in a USPS flat rate box. Waiting to see if they replace it (lifetime warranty).
New batteries as well. It reads 38.8 LBS or -----. Once and a while I can get it to peg out at max scale. That is IF it turns on.
What I am thinking is that when the batteries died that scale lost its calibration data. The internal reference it uses for 0LBS and 350Lbs. (What ever the scales range is).....
Well, I took the scale apart. Those jerks de-soldered the calibration button. There is no way to re-calibrate it or even set a zero refinance.
All, you can do is demand a new scale or use it as a frisbee.
Thank you! I went to the Taylor website from the link above and followed the instructions for resetting (under troubleshooting) and my scale works again!
Me too!! I bought this scale for my husband for Xmas, no he was not offended, and was very embarrassed when he turned it on, stepped on it, and saw that he weighed 110lbs. He was thrilled, however. I immediately assumed it was way out of calibration because I had left it in the trunk of my car for a solid week in the ice cold Wisconsin winter, negative 10 to 20 below (F) overnight. I ended up on this website and saw the above directions on how to calibrate the scale. I followed the directions feeling foolish and not expecting any change whatsoever. To my surprise, it WORKED!!!! Calibrating it fixed everything and the scale works PERFECTLY!!!! Thank you SO MUCH for your helpful advice!!!

I have the same problem. I changed out the batteries and now it returns "ERR" then "0 - Ld". Anyone have any ideas?
new batteries, won't start, reads "E" then "Lo"
I have the same problem, but after it displays E it shows 79.9kg and then won't display anything.
I have the same problem. This is the first I've had to buy new batteries and I bought Energizer, a name brand good battery. Can't figure what this would be. I have contacted Taylor, but haven't heard anything as of yet.
