gyro counting up

This is something that we've been having trouble with--when we plug the gyro into an analog input, and call getAngle, we get no meaningful signal, but instead basically a number that keeps counting up. The number isn't altered by actually moving the gyro about its axis, which means it isn't drift.

Does anyone have any ideas on what could cause this, or how to fix it? It should be noted that we are using a 2008 gyro due to our new one frying
