pH controller problem

I have an Aqua medic pH controller. I am having problems with the display. When I pick up the controller or move it in anyway the pH reading gets sporadic. It's jumping from 4-8 or 6-7 or 5-9 ( you get the picture). It won't settle back out until I set it down. The pH probe is brand new and is in my calcium reactor. I tried to calibrate it with brand new pH 7 solution and I had to turn the Calibration knob all the way to one side and still couldn't calibrate it to pH 7. I have cut my CO2 tank off because this is going on.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

That is what I was afraid of. That sucks.
