[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 1069893, member: 307"] drpbroun5, The CM is usually a pretty accurate (once calibrated), reliable and repeats well (i.e. returns to zero). Sounds as if your keypad overlay has gone out, happens with these type membrane switches. RCBS will honor their product if you call them. I had mine for 3-4 yrs and the keypad went out just like you described. Called them up and they offered to repair it if I sent the unit to them. Well, I'm a scale technician by trade, and replacing a keypad's right up my alley. Explained all this to the person on the other end and they gladly said they would send it to me and let me do it. It arrived 3-4 days later and 15-20mins after that the CM was going again. Not difficult at all, "scale" of 1-10 it's a 2. The keypad and its black backing (all one sheet) just stick to the outside and there's a ribbon cable attached that goes through the plastic case and plugs in to the main PCB (printed circuit board). I disconnnected the scale from the dispenser to perform this repair and reassembled afterwards. Good luck and let me know how it goes. JohnnyK. [/QUOTE]
