Opening up the scale was not an easy task – there was a lot of double-sided tape involved.

The back of the scale is fastened with four Torx screws – easy enough. The entire backplate, however, is glued to the front with double-sided adhesive cushions. Removing it simply involved pulling it firmly enough to break the adhesive, but not so hard as to break the connectors. A hairdryer can help loosen the adhesive under the 4 corners.

With the backplate removed, you can immediately spot 4 loads cells, one in each corner.
