      It's completely normal for it to flash during prints and moves, part cooling fans can cause it to flash also mine for instance flashes constantly when printing or part cooling is on
      as long as it calibrates fine there is no issue.

          Normally caused by fan noise
          or it's a bad crimp/solder joint either end

            but that are the 2 things i mentioned in my post which i checked and its not that

            1-fan noise
            2-wire crimp of the wires on the 8 pin connectors

            anything else ?

              Give it the old disassemble and reassemble? While it's apart take some photos of both sides of the PCB for us to see?

                  Is that a scuff on the traces of the strain gauge?

                  If you inspect the surface of the PCB closely do you see any scratches?

                      That does look like some damage.

                          depends on how handy you are with a soldering iron; you could try to take some abrasive to the area and abrade off the blue layer getting down to the copper traces and soldering some bridges across.

                            @bearer That's more optimistic than my answer was going to be.

                              🙂 i've been around too much bob the builder watching little people - the optimism seems to rubs off no matter how hard i try to resist!

                              however no doubt about it, its fiddly work, but certainly possible.

                                this pic are x60 times the size , my iron is bigger than 2 lines no way to solder 😞

                                  @bearer the idea is to solder the cut off lines right /?

                                    if its just a hairline break in the trace you'd probably be okay with some tacky flux and just dragging the tip across with a little solder on to bridge the gap; but some experience would help

                                      if you have a meter you could try measuring the resistance across as shown on the back of the board? (power off)

                                          close up: (edit: maybe not having it mirrored helps..)

                                          R11, and R14 as indicated by the tall elipses.

                                          then compare to the other half of the bridge on R11 and R13 as indicated by the wide elipses?

                                          B and T on the schematic are essientially 10k resistors in the form of PCB traces, and you're trying to measure if they are different:
