Quieting a Chargemaster Lite!

[Wheres-Waldo]

Well, I just cracked it open and poked around...

If you’d like to do this, you’ll need a small Phillips screwdriver and a hot glue gun.

Remove 7 screws from the bottom of the unit (there’s one under the “Made in China” sticker in the middle)

Then locate the offending doo-dad.

Then put a dab of hot glue in the center perforation of the doo-dad and gently press it in.

Bolt everything back together and you’re good to go.

Are you really recommending pressing the self destruct button?

Can you make a small video with this process? It will be more clear about what you are doing. And what glue gun and glue do you use? As I know you can't buy any glue and use it wherever you want.

My wife gets pissed after hearing 3 throws from the CM lite. I'll have to give this a go.

 

[Wheres-Waldo]

Use her hot glue gun too...

Alright here we go. A couple random pics of the guts in there for yall who may want to see what's inside.

Step 1. Acquire wife's cute little hot glue gun.
Step 2. Flip CM lite over and spill calibration weights all over the floor followed by gratuitous use of your favorite curse word.
Step 3. Remove 6 screws around the outer perimeter of the machine. Removing two of the leveling feet will help.
Step 4. Void 1 of the 3 warranty stickers. This is fine because you still have 2 warranties left! Remove the screw underneath.
Step 5. Remove bottom and flip to side. There are wires attaching the scale mechanism so don't just yank on er.
Step 6. Locate the ear canal violation device. It is a small black buzzer being pointed out by the screwdriver.
Step 7. Put a dab of hot glue on top of the opening.
Step 8. Notice that the switch is in the "Luck" position and ponder WTF that is all about.
Step 9. Reassemble carefully. Do not pinch any wires. The bubble level on mine fell out as it has some double sided tape.
Step 10. Crack open a cold beverage of your choice. You clearly deserve it after this difficult project.
