    Circuit for reading weight and displaying into LED

    Hello, I want to fabricate a PCB capable of reading weight from between 0 - 100 lb, and then take that data through some microchip PIC and display it to a LCD or LED. I'm not very familiar with load scales, but I was curious if there were any ideas or insights into the proper components needed...

    How do I recharge a 3.7V battery that has a wire like this, without the PCB?

    I'm thinking that maybe there's something I can buy that has a charger port for the plug/connector in the picture. (P.S.: If there's no such thing, pls tell me as I would just bring this to an electronic repair shop or something)

    Dent in PCB

    Hello, I was unmounting a pair of headphones (JBL TUNE 760NC), and when removing an ear up, I pushed too much on my knife and I think I made a dent in the PCB, as you can see on the photograph. I would like to know if this will prevent my device from working again, and if so, how to repair it...
