Compass disoriented

My compass is showing wonky directions. Basically, it says I am going east most of the time, even when I am heading west. The display changes often too, shifting from E to NE to SE to S all in a matter of seconds. It just started this today.

How does the compass mirror work? Are all its direction-sensing parts self-contained in the mirror or is there another part somewhere else that could be messed up?

Thanks

Glad you noticed. Haven't heard much about it...even from the small
NE Ohio contingent on the boards (probably all too young).

Anyway, here ya go:
