I just picked up this scale for a song because someone else apparently gave up on it.  I put in a fresh battery, and gave it a tap.  Picked it up, tipped it over, set it down...ok, now it works.  Got three different weight results in three tries.  Popped the battery, thinking it might help to reset it, placed battery back in, and veola, it works and gives me an accurate weight.  Step off. Try again--foot tap>>nothing. Tap again>>nothing. Pick it up, tip it over, set it down>>00's appear. Weight myself>>accurate weight.  Ahah!  It has a motion sensor. The foot tap to the top generally never works. A light tap on the side sometimes works, but if it doesn't, I pick up an edge a tiny bit, let it drop back to the floor, and it awakes, every time, ready to weigh, accurately. Ha!  Five stars just for the secret "handshake" required to access my new classy black glass bathroom scale.
