Work the mode selector back and forth 20 or 30 times, slowly and 
deliberately, not quickly snapping it back and forth, that may break something. 
Maybe the 
camera was never taken out of one mode, so the contacts may be slightly 
corroded. If things keep popping up like this, it's time for a CLA. It may be 
time 
for one anyway, depending on how the former owner used, and/or stored the 
camera. 

You can't pay too much attention to those batteries. A couple of us here on 
the list had battery related problems, with "new" batteries from two separate 
stores. Some sellers just don't go thru the button batteries like they used to 
what with all the power hungry digitals that use bigger batteries.

One other thing of note, which may indicate a more major problem is that at
times it appears to get slighly confused about which mode it's in.  Such
that, at times it won't make it into Manual/Spot mode,  and  when swtiched
to that position thinks it's in Prgm.
