DS3231 Not working

Hi,

I'm new to Arduino and still trying to figure out how to use the devices. I am currently trying to use the DS3231 module with an Arduino Uno to reliably keep track of time for a year. I'm using a DS3231 leftover from a previous project from last year, however it no longer seems to be working. When I plug it in the power LED goes on, however it only outputs the same repeating list of data in the serial monitor:

45h165min85sec 165/165/165

instead of keeping track of time. Does anyone know why it is doing this and if it is fixable?

Thanks!

Since your code is a state secret, we will never know where that time string came from, but I think all those 165s indicate inadequate power to arduino, so you might look into that.
