Mouse chewed weighbar wires? Ours went totally bonkers last year ,odd messages, weights going up and down by themselves etc.so I dropped it off at a computer repair lad and he said he couldn't find anything wrong other than than the plugs had corroded a bit so he cleaned them up. Different fault after that and found a load of chewed wires where they were coiled up inside the chassis

Check cables to wighbars and the power supply cable.
This ^^^
Sounds obvious but check all cables, connections & that you’ve actually got 12v going to it.
Failing that someone local must have a wagon parked up or spare box? Reckon there might be one up stopgate they would let you try. Thats if they’ve still got that old Trioliet?

Will need to be an identical weigher from an similar machine with the same number of weigh cells, since for it to weigh sense the calibration codes need to be the same.
If old box is dead you wont know the code to use, unless it's printed in the manual.
The weight will be wrong but you’ll find if its the box or not.
Thinking about it weren’t Trioliet the ones with a weigh cell on the hitch, so only had 3?

Digistar manuals are available on tinterweb & calibration is an easy process if you have something you know the weight of.

I am honestlyWhat surprises me the most is that @jimmer actually turns on the weigher. I had him down as more of a one grab of this, five of that kinda fella
Honestly
Honest
Hopefully should work when dried out.
Put a dry cow / teat seal bucket over it and cut the front off to see the display, had one on our older Keenan, works well to keep the water off.
Our Redrock is like that. Utter rubbish. Scale goes up and down during mixing/emptying. You don’t know if you have 500kg left or 1000kg of silage left in the wagon until you get to the last bay and you run out.

Found instructions online
Seems the hold button is faulty
Dried it out and it's still not right, worked for 5 mins then went on blink again
Will see if I can disable hold button tomorrow

Marek or david king will repair it.
Had to dry ours out the other day, stripped it and put it in airing cupboard much to wife's disgust, it had a David king sticker in it!
Might be to far away but if you want a box to try......
Have you checked supply to the box is good? On ours the spools still worked and supply to digistar was bad

You need to leave it open so the moisture can evaporate.
hi-spec box had a bag of silica gel inside to keep it dry.
