Easier way to open

Introduction

Go to step 1 ↓

Today the scales did not go anymore.

The display remained black.

So I had to find a way to disassemble.

Extra rausholen the Heißluftföhn and time consuming to heat the glass plate? It would have to be easier!

What you need

    1. Easier way to open, Open the balance: step 1, image 1 of 1
      • Since it is not important in the balance to get the adhesive surfaces take a beveled spatula. It's much easier and faster.

      • Contrary to the other instructions, the board is located directly on the plastic housing. Through the 3 holes water gets into the balance and through the adhesion it spreads over the complete underside of the board

      • The Libra continues to change. Only this time too much water had penetrated which had spread under the board.

      • Clean the underside of the board with acetone. Alternatively, isopropanol.

      • After the board was dry, the scales spoke to me again. And so that water does not penetrate again, I taped the holes with silicone

      • Finally, glue the round cap to the glass plate with a little silicone glue. Because even if the board has a silicone protective coating, it would not be good if Wassser came from above on the SMD components.

this does not tell you how to open it, only to use a spatula. this is not a guide, it is a waste of time.

The 4 load cells are glued to the glass plate.

This means you only have to cut through the adhesive pads from the side
