Sudden baffling Z axis issue on my A5S

So My printer has been working fine for months, not a single issue since I got it. But then just yesterday, after a 50 hour long print which came out fine, it no longer works. When I go to print any file at all now, one of 2 things happens:
I'm very new to 3D printing and I have no idea how to fix this issue, because it seems to be an issue with the electronics of the printer (or the SD card, but I think that's unlikely). I know nothing about electronics, and opening up my printer would probably void the warranty, which makes me hesitant because I don't want to ruin it further.
- It prints, but it doesn't bother homing the Z axis first, so the printhead is suspended in the air spitting filament out uselessly as it moves. The Z axis works fine when I tell it to home and when using the auto leveling, but not when printing any file.
- It prints, if I already homed the Z axis, but it prints completely the wrong file. I've tried multiple files that are on the SD card that worked previously, and every single time it prints a different one, seemingly at random.
