Yes, grayscale quickcams have caps - a lot of them. If yours displays digital garbage when opening up QuickPict, you probably need to recap it.

How-to:
- How to open a quickcam. Be very careful with the clips!
- Remove the lens and inspect the IR filter: mine was both loose and covered in cap juice.
- Obtain appropriate caps. Below are the ones I used with digikey P/Ns.
- Perform the replacements. Remember that tantalum mark their positive side, where electrolytic mark the negative.
- Test. Hopefully, it works now.
