My scale showed Lo, no reading, then I replaced battery, now shows nothing, dead. What do I do next?

When the scale says Lo/Low this means the batteries must be changed as there is low power that is not sufficient enough for it to operate properly. How to Change the Scale Batteries: ... Remove the battery cover on the back. Remove the batteries and replace them with new once.

PROBABLY NEEDS REPLACED .

Possibly batteries are reversed, so check again.


My scales display Lo What does this mean

In the event that the scale battery needs to be replaced, (display shows "Lo"),
open the battery cover on the bottom of the scale and replace the old battery with
a new 3V lithium battery.

I had the same problem and, suspecting that the metal contacts weren't making proper contact with the batteries, I used a long nosed pliers to gently bend all ten contacts towards to the batteries (there are eight small tabs in the battery compartment, and two on the battery cover). If you don't have a long nosed pliers a small screwdriver should do it if you held the fixed part of each set of contacts so it doesn't detach during the process.
Unfortunately, it worked, but only for one weigh, and then it reverted to "Lo". This happened twice, so I telephoned the Salter Customer Service Helpline (01732 360783) who recommended a reset, which is done by removing the batteries, standing on the scale for 20 seconds, and replacing the batteries. That also only worked for one weigh, so they are looking into it further and I'll post the results here, but in the meantime I hope one of the above solutions will work for others.

just fixed this problem myself. so first i took out the battery then put it back in didn't wait a specific amount of time or anything. i just popped it out blew the inside then put the battery back in. next i switched it to ST from LB stepped on it stepped off it then stepped on it again and it reset. then i put it back to LB and voila it worked again!

Anytime you have trouble with a Taylor scale - they have a lifetime replacement warranty. You need to call their 800 number and pay for 1 way shipping and they will send you a new one.

have you replaced the batteries with duracell or energizers? I ask this because sometimes when it comes to this type scales using a lower name brand type of battery isnt strong enough for it or there just may be a malfunction in that product. Let me know if this helps and good luck!
