One hypothesis.. and the pilow case tip.....
2

If we imagine that some humidity is still present in the body that could explain for the erratic overexposure.... (different from one shot to the other)

Put the camera without lens in the bottom of a pilow case take a hair dryer set to the first t° (mild heating) then warm the pilowcase from its opening  with the hair dryer for a while avoiding exceeding say 35°C leave the camera cooling down and try

If this did not worked, an idea to save your 150$ investment would be to use the camera with a permanent -2 or -3 EV correction, plus if needed the addition of a ND filter a rather cheap solution

Good luck for the future of this odd camera
