FujiFilm Zoom Date 90 - Timer blinking

[mhcueball2]

I have an older fujifilm zoom date 90, the self-timer icon keeps on blinking. It is not on timer mode (since I waited 15 minutes and nothing happened). If I push the self-timer button, nothing happens. I tried 2 new batteries, nothing. I could rewind the film to get it out.

Any ideas?
