You can try adjusting the fee slider to a lower setting but make sure the transaction still gets confirmed in a reasonable time. Sometimes using a dynamic fee setting based on current network conditions can help reduce the fee. Also double check if you have any unspent transaction outputs that might be causing the higher fee due to the way Electrum is structuring the transaction. If the issue persists, you could try using a different wallet like bitcoin core or exodus to see if the fees are lower.

Electrum supports coin control and also allows you to set the fee rate manually. You don't need any alternative wallet to reduce the transaction fee.
Also note that exodus is close-source and it shouldn't be recommended at all.

You can try these simple way to troubleshoot:
1. Make sure you're entering the correct 24-word password on the new device
2. Ensure that both your ledger live and ledger firmware are up to date. An outdated version might cause issues with recognizing the device
3. Disconnect and restart both you ledger live and device then reconnect your hardware
4. Since you mentioned the device is showing 0.00 on the new computer, try using the device on the original computer where the funds were recognized. Sometimes this can resolve issues if the new setup is not properly synced.
5. If you're using passphrase, make sure you entered it correctly when restoring your ledger

If these don't resolve, they could be a deeper issue with your device or setup.
