I own a Nest and have no idea what the $8 service is.
Do a factory reset and try again. If you still have trouble try contacting Nest support.
I had my Nest thermostat replaced under warranty due to a failed battery which wasn't too different from what you're experiencing. OH! Take it off the wall and plug it in for a bit. It'll charge the battery. This might be necessary if the heating system was off for a while. I'd do this after the factory reset and before reattempting to establish connection.
Connecting to the network is peak power usage for the little device. Its possible that its failing because its under charged.
