Well this was unexpected. My RCBS powder dispenser and scale have been working flawlessly since new (years) and many, many loads were charged/weighed using it. So anyways to my surprise I went to use my scale (1500) to weigh some charges from my Dillon. Every time I use the scale I recalibrate headspace prior to use and then weigh some known weights to be certain of its readings. So I began the calibration process and all was well. I then put my pan on and hit "Zero" to zero the scale, and thats when I had a problem. I hit zero and it went into the calibration mode again. I assumed it didn't like something so I recalibrated, I put the pan back on, the weight of the pan was good, so I hit "Zero" again and it went right back to the calibration again. I tried leaving the unit unplugged for a day, triple checked everything that I was going, made sure it was level, yadda yadda. I even disconnected it from the dispenser thinking that could be having an issue and sure enough the same problem with just the scale. I guess I am happy that it isn't the dispenser because I can handle a new scale if it comes down to it. I am really suspecting a button issue. It is if the zero button has now become the calibrate button. The scale still measures exactly so umm yea keypad problem? Here is a youtube vid I did of the issue http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6EdmrGdCHY Anyone have any thoughts?

I didn't watch your video, but I already have a pretty headspace good idea of what happened. RCBS HAS had a problem with some of the keypads on the units, and they've admitted it. Sometimes the keypads will go out, sometimes the buttons will act like a different button, and sometimes other strange issues. From all the experiences that I've read, they will be happy to replace the malfunctioning unit. It sucks because you won't have it for a short period of time (since RCBS customer service is good), BUT you get a new one. From the symptoms you describe, and the few problems that I've read about the Chargemaster, it's your keypad (as you suspected). Just contact them, and I think they'll make it right for you. Edit: I did watch your video, headspace and I'm pretty sure that you're exactly right. I would contact RCBS. So far, they've been very willing to replace or repair units that were out of warranty. It appears that they've headspace noticed this was their mistake, headspace and have been willing headspace to take care of it. So contact them even though it's out of warranty.

Between what I found and your confirmation I think the problem is nailed. Next step is to call RCBS
I had the same problem as other users here: buttons performing the action of the button to their right, headspace or doing nothing at all even though the RCBS Chargemaster 1500 Combo beeped. I could calibrate, but then pressing Zero would start the calibration process over again. My unit is about six years old (although I've only used it about 10 times), so RCBS wouldn't replace it for less than $200 plus
