wii fit alraedy malfunctioning

[Kire]

Soooo, the wii fit board was working fine, and then it happened...it's now off like by 6 lbs. I know because I have 2 other scales to confirm this. I really don't use it that much anymore, and I would sell it if I could. What should I do, call Nintendo? It's not like they can send me a replacement.

I can't imagine all scales are equal. Especially electronic ones.

Re: wii fit alraedy malfunctioning

Well that's the thing, it was accurate for a while then just started going wonky. Before I knew it, it says, "wow, you lost 7.7 lbs!" I freaked at first. @_@

There should be some way to recalibrate it or something. Call Nintendo. It couldn't hurt.

Re: wii fit alraedy malfunctioning

Right out of the box I noticed my Wii Fit scale registered me as 5-6 lbs lighter than my actual weight. I just kinda shrugged it off, but I was disappointed that it wasn't completely accurate. Even my other electronic scales are accurate--but then again, they aren't designed to be sensitive to the things that the Wii Fit board registers, so I thought it might be a trade-off. Maybe I should call for a replacement?

Yeah, the thing says I'm like 139 when I'm really 144.

It's always said that though. I just take it as is and consider the general downward trend to be a good thing.

So... Subtract/Add 6 lbs...


I read a little bit more on this, are you using it on a carpet? Or any soft surface? If so, you kinda... cant. It messes it up.
