Has anyone had issues with their ND scale going apeshit after awhile?

So my ND scale has been great for the past handful of months since I got it. All of the sudden it started going crazy when I try to use it. I’m talking the numbers moving up and down all over the place when I try to use it.
I changed the batteries to fresh ones and it didn’t help. I calibrated it and that didn’t help either.
I’m now fucked because I can’t accurately weigh the multitude of supplements I have been using daily.
ND has a warranty on it but money is so tight right now because of stupid covid, that I can’t really afford to send it back for them to look at and determine if they can fix it or send me another.
Has this happened to anyone else?
Does anyone have a trick or suggestion that may fix it?
I really need it to work. The only other scale I have is a gram scale which is of no use for most of my supplements.

You need to make sure it is grounded on a level surface. The load cell inside screws up with static electricity, and many people forget to ground their scales. So they can wig out sometimes. Also, some people forget about AC vents. If you are measuring under an AC vent, you have to move it away. The temperature changes affect it, along with the air pressure. We actually have to strategically place our AC vents in our lab to avoid it affecting our sensitive equipment. It's a factor many people don't think about.
