DigiWeigh 100 X 0.01 Gram Digital Jewelry Pocket Scale - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Remove the battery - this happens when the scale tries to use a dead battery instead of the wall power supply.

Hi,
you need just to recalibrate it:
The procedure is standard for semi-all models of pocket scales, but the way how to get to calibration mode differs from model to model (or vendor to vendor).
In brief:
1.While turn-on get to the calibration mode (by pressing and holding the ON button, or holding TARE while turinig on) You should hold this "magic" combination until the LCD will show a number (large number - it was more than 2000 in my case). This number is a raw data from the sensor.
2.Now release the "magic" button.
3.Press it one more time, the display will show 2Ero and then 100.0
4.Now put calibrated weight of 100 grams on the scale and wait 3 seconds.
5.Press "magic" button again.The display will show CAL and then PASS.
6.Now remove the weight and turn off the scale.
7.Thats all - now you can use your scale as usually.

Why would it do that after you change the batteries though? Im having the same issue

Have you tried removing the battery, it should return to default settings

thank u very much

If you don't have the measured weights that sometimes come with scales or can be purchased individually, I'd recommend using a United States nickel/5 cent coin. They are supposedly an exact 5 g's each, and a Volt-100 scale requires 100 g's for recalibration. Therefore, you can recalibrate your scale using 20 nickels. I also use a Volt-100 and so far this has worked for me exactly; the most it's ever been off is .02 g, which is basically nothing.
What you do is remove your batteries, (I'd replace them with brand new ones if you have the option) then place the scale on a completely smooth, perfectly level, flat surface. Power the scale on, make sure it is reading 0.00, hold the M (mode) button until CAL comes on the screen, release the button for a quick second, then press it again one more time (quickly, don't hold this time), and then wait until "100.00 g" is flashing on the screen. Then you're going to place your 20 nickels on the scale as smoothly and with as little jostling or movement as possible. After a moment, the screen should read out "PASS". You then power the scale off (don't weigh anything before turning it off as it can possibly adjust the calibration you just set or weigh out heavily or light) and to test out your newly calibrated scale, turn it back on and weigh one nickel. It should be exactly 5 g's, with no more than a .02 digression in either direction if done properly. Good luck!

I thought the scale was just completely broken, I was able to fix by doing the following.

1. turn unit off
2. hold down the on/off/tare AND the MODE button.
3. The unit will come up with a bunch of numbers on the screen. Release the buttons
4. Press MODE once, you will see "100" flash on the screen. if you don't press the button a second time.
5. place 100g of tare weights on the scale.
6. Press MODE button again. After this my scale said PASSED and shut off.
7. remove tare weights and turn device on. It should now register properly.

In my case. the scale was misregistering the 50g weights as 75. I shut it off. I pulled up ever so slightly on the scale plate on the hinge side of the plate are repeated steps 1-7.

I have no idea why they don't have a 3 part calibration on these.

It is working like a charm now!

everything you need is on the lid,there are no manuals

It worked on mine, I pushed Mode, Power, Tare at the same time. It came up in Cal mode. I added penny's till it was 995 or so then added small pieces paper to it till it was 100 then up popped passed. I turned it off then it works fine now. Thank You!!!!!!!

It often just needs recalibrating. Try turning the scale on while holding the mode/tare button with nothing on the scale. Then press the tare button again. It should show a calibration weight which you should put onto the scale. Then it automatically calibrates.

Try recalibrating it by turning it on while holding the "tare" or "mode" button. It should show a raw data from the sensor then. Press the tare button again and it should calibrate the empty weight. Then it will show a specific weight you should put on, usually 100g. It should automatically finish calibration now. Hope this helps. The words before calibration on my scale was OUt2

Easier to use pennies. 9 copper pennies from the 1960s or 1970s weight 1 oz.

Check to see if you need new batteries, or just remove batteries and reinstall to reset device. If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/frankie_091f536560a54e12

Try this - While it is off, press and hold both the mode and the tare* keys at the same time and press the On/Off key - Release the keys and observe the display - cycle through a series of numbers. Press the mode key once and observe the display "CAL 0" "100.00" then similar numbers as before. This step calibrates Check here - http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_do_you_calibrate_digi_weigh_scale_DW-100AX_or_fix_errors_such_as_F--H_or_ERR?#slide=1

It can only be done right at the dealership

it needs to be cal turn on hit tare hold down until number show mine went crazy -628.2 anyways now hit mode an hold it down if it dont work an keeps turning of be quick turn on hit tare an hold down keep doing it till u get it took me about 3 times till i got it

the 24c02 is a memory chip inside. Unless your a tech - you can't repair.

Mine did this also, I got a replacement and it also read F--H. I took all the screws out - they hid them under the bar code sticker and under the stick-on faceplate where the buttons are - then found that the screws on the load cell which is sort of like an aluminum tuning fork had been tightened so much that the cell was reacting to the screw force, not the scale pad. Release all the pressure and you may be able to make it come alive again. One of my two is working now but calibrating is another thing all together because the linear counting depends on the loadcell screws being set just right.

1. First, try recalibrating the scale with nothing on it.
2. If there is a reset button on the device, press it.
3. Try replacing the battery.
4. If it still acts up, it's probably time to get a new scale.
