My 4yo dd decided to go into the bathroom and play with the water. It was every where. Well, she cleaned it up as best she could but a few minutes ago I realized that she got water all over and into my new(3wks old) digital scale! I've tried replacing the batteries and everything, but it still won't work! Looks like I will be dishing out another $30 for a new scale tomorrow.

I would wait and see if it dries out first!!!

...Aren't children wonderful??? That really stinks especailly if you are like me and weigh yourself 3x a day!!! I would see if it dried out too!!

Good Luck

Sounds like my 3 year old. Just this morning she was playing in the water. When I asked what she was doing in the toliet water she said she dropped her soap in there and was trying to get it out. Look at the bright side, my toliet was shiny clean after the fact.

Treat yourself and get an upgraded scale from the one you HAD!
You deserve it!!!!

Kids........gotta love them. I would let it dry out too!
Maybe, just maybe it will work once it is completely dry.

Keeping my fingers crossed,

Awww, it sounds like DD had a blast!

The others are right- plain water is often not fatal to your electronics. (Juices and sodas, however, are another matter!)

I would remove the batteries and put the scales somewhere with good air circulation so they can dry out completely. In a day or two, they'll probably be as good as new!

You were right!!! I got up this morning and the scale worked. Guess it just needed to dry out. Now, to find a safe place to put it!

Phew, I love a happy ending! Glad the scale survived (maybe you need to buy it one of those "I survived the bathroom flood" t-shirts?)

Tracy--You only weigh yourself 3x/day? Sheesh, that's nothing.

Glad everything worked out in the end.
