Spilled water on digital scale..

Options
The other day. It was a small amount, thankfully, and I promptly wiped it down thoroughly. However, I am a bit concerned because it is glass (or some other similar clear element) and it is a double-layered square thing, the top layer being the part you stand and the second layer housing the battery, display etc. It appears to be working, but I have noticed my weight has been the exact same for 4 days now, which has never happened. (I spilled the water 2 days ago.) I have been eating consistently at maintenance, but my weight usually fluctuates. I weigh myself every day on the hard floor in the bathroom, and it's been showing the same weight. But when I weigh myself on my carpeted floor, it changes, which is how it normally works.
Anyway.. long story short, do you think it's malfunctioning, or it's ok? I inherited this one, and don't have money for a new one..

    Try weighing yourself...then pick up a 2L carton of milk...you should weigh almost 5lbs more.

    Or just put something of a known weight on the scale, and test it.

    If it goes up, it's broke. If it goes down, keep it. Weigh the cat just to make sure it still knows other numbers before deciding.:drinker:

    why don't you try weighing yourself holding a dumb-bell... or anything really. If you do not see an appropriate increase you will know something is wrong!
