Almost from six months device shows couldn't measure error. I had no clue how to fix untill I watch your video. Same rust issue. I cleaned it and device working perfectly. Thanks a lot..
Genius! It's bothering me for months now. Mine only works for 3 months and got this error. Been searching the internet for solution til i gave up. Good thing i found your video. Nice work.
Very helpful video Miroslav. I opened up my scale following your video and there indeed was rust on two of the springs! Cleaned them and the scale works fine now. Thanks a lot!
I cleaned it using cotton. Just remove the rust by rubbing hard with some dry cotton or cloth and then you can put a couple of drops of oil on the cotton/cloth and gently wipe the springs again.
Thank a lot. The help pages for this topic on official mi resources are non-existent. I will comment the link of this video for others. Your root cause analysis is bang on! Good Job!
I have the same scale, but a different issue. When I plug in the batteries, there are no numbers on the display, but a rotating animation of the outer LEDs. What might be the issue?
I have a mi comp scale 2 that shows only a flat bar when batteries are inserted. It cant connect to the phone or read/ display weight. Would you know what is happening or could offer suggestions what to do to fix it?
Thanks to your vid, finall figured out how to dismantle this item. Question though, will cleaning the springs also work if the problem is calibration? Like even without putting anything on it the scale shows 26 kg and adds that amount to persons weight, couldnt find how to tare/calibrate it
I do, my scale 2 stucks on 28k and adds a lot of weight on it, what shoul I do? I've removed the batteries, I erased every record on the fit app, and nothing works, who can help us?
Our scale is relatively new. The screen is not showing any display. With the previous battery is. Just displayed a low bat icon. With new batteries, no display at all. Pls teach me gow to fix this. Thank u
For me, a little smack to the scale fix the issue. I guess there is loose component as well because of daily stepping and maybe because my xiaomi vacuum cleaner always bump to the scale everyday during cleaning
The metal terminals which given in MI scale is cheaper quantity, my MI Scale battery compartment terminals are rusted, service center saying only replacement, no repairs. Mine is out of warranty.
Hi real question Miroslav - the scale isn't calibrated at zero, in my case its 117.7 kg... how do I re-set it to zero? Could it be the same problem, or something different?
Simply remove the batteries, insert the batteries, place the balance on a flat surface and wait for it to calibrate itself. If that doesn't help, the error can be anything (broken wires, broken sensor, faulty microcontroller ...).
Did anyone had the Low battery glitch? Can it be solved in the same way? I tried many types of batteries (completely new) it always displays the L sign....
I had low low battery issue, the battery contact points had rust. Check if you have rust in the battery contact points in the battery chamber below the device. If yes remove the rust similarly as shown in video. What I did was, I plugged all the holes in the battery compartment with blue tack and filled the compartment with viniger and left it for 2 days, after which I drained the vinegar (cooking white viniger)and I cleaned the contacts with a old toothbrush. But make sure the vinegar doesn't enter the holes in the machine. Or Take it to a repair shop and get the battery contacts changed, this should cost you somewhere in between 2$ to 10$
The Mi 2 isn't really designed to be taken apart, and requires a spudger tool to disassemble. There are no screws. You slide the spudger between the plastic and glass carefully on the side of the scale and wedge it apart slowly. Some plastic clips can break if you're not careful. Take care not to scratch the white paint from the underside of the glass. What are you disassembling it for?
@@bengray3950 following your recommandations to open my Mi scale 2 with glass, I found a detached conductive blue wire that connects one sensor to the motherboard, I welded it well and I closed the scale, now it's working perfectly 👌 many thanks🙏🏼.
@@YassineBENNOURI That's great! Glad to hear you could save it :). I hacked mine to save my weights to a database, which was what I was opening it for in the first place.

Thanks.
How is the accuracy of body fat and muscle mass , as compared to inbody and other hitech equipments, heard many negative comments that mi shows wrong info, so better to go for normal weighing scale, what do u say?

Que es lo que le coloca? //what do you clean it with?
you can put some zinc paste (car supplies) on the contacts so they wont corrode
Do you know how to disassemble the mi 2 scale version with glass on the top? There are no screw holes on the body of the balance...

This is problem with pressure senzor. Either sensors are broken, or cables or ADC.
Not working connection to android phone. In Bluetooth devices no scale. I think that the Bluetooth module is broken (((
thanks, you saved few $ of mine :)

Can we weigh things on this to check accuracy
Mine has an accuracy of +/- 0.2kg with 70kg load (pretty accurate).
If I put dumbell of 2kg, will it show the right weight?

Mi balanza es nueva 😢😢😢😢
now my scale shows more kilos
good now working
How to clean the rust ???
Just scrape off the rust with anything sharp you have in the household. Then apply a small amount of oil to prevent further corrosion.
@@MiroslavBendik ok thanks I will try it
My Scale now shows ol error
If the icon «OL» flashes while weighing, it means, that the measurements exceeded the maximum limit of 150 kg weight.
If the weight is less than 150kg, it may be a broken sensor or a broken wire.
talk!
Whats the treatment?
