You should check its battery, that's where your problem is.
Electronic meters utilize A/D converter. The A/D converter
uses bat as Voltage reference...


Actually, a semiconductor device similar to a Zener diode is used as the
voltage reference. But the battery has to be at or above the device's
threshold to provide a stable reference.
