QuickTake 100 thinks its connected to a computer

I was playing around with my QuickTake 100 this afternoon, for the first time in a while...since the last time I used it it seems to have developed an issue where it always thinks its connected to a computer. As soon as I turn it on, the spinning wheel that indicates its connected to a computer comes up on the screen, and I can't take photos or anything. If I plug it into a Mac and connect to it via the QuickTake software it works perfectly, I can download photos, take photos via the QuickTake software, and from the Mac it otherwise works perfectly, however I just can't take photos using the controls on the camera itself. Is this a known issue? Caps maybe?

Short on the port, maybe?

I wonder if these are full of leaking caps as well?

Yeah, I've got a 150 with a similar problem.  I cracked one of these open a year or so ago, and yeah they are FULL of tin can caps.
