chargemaster combo problem??

[tootalloutdoors]

Not wanting to hi-jack the other post I'm doing my own. My combo sits out in the garage year round,little bit of dust)???
Anyhow my problem and question is. Once in awhile the left hand column of buttons will go dead. They were dead last time I used it, they may work now or not. Sometimes half way into my loading I'll try one of those buttons again and "bingo" we're up and running, sometimes it wont work at all that day.
I'll turn it on and off, on and off. Re-calibrate, and re-calibrate, that doesn't seem to be the key. I don't think it's temperature because I've had it happen inside my home.
R.C.B.S. Is more than willing to fix it for free if I send it in but I hate to be without it, and they may not duplicate the problem when they have it. I'm always able to "get by". Ya see my decimal point is on that side also. So instead of punching in something like 34.5, I have to punch in 35, or 36, and stop it manually and trickle up to my weight.
Has anyone had to deal with something like that??
Thank You, Tootalloutdoors

The keypad is toast, this is a common problem and they are well aware it is happening. When mine went tits up, it was the whole middle row, then thing was useless.

Try to talk them into sending you a replacement and then you sending the bad unit back in the box in which the new one arrives.

They won't fix it, they will just send you a new unit. At least one the other folks who have all had this problem that was the deal.

Until the keypad my first unit functioned perfectly. Now this replacement is constantly overthrowing charges. I am not sure what small change was made from mine to this one, in that mechanism, but it was a poor change. Off to McDonalds for a straw...

Hey Ranger thanks for the reply. I'll call them tommarrow. Boy that would be great if they sent me one and I could return the old afterwards. Hope the straw works for ya.
Thanks again, Tootalloutdoors
