I've tried shaking the film, leaving it in light, and others. I do not have batteries or extra film, so I can't try those.
Possible damage circuit board

I'm afraid you have a somewhat serious problem. There is a tungsten cable that runs from the speed dial to the rewind side if the camera. This cable sets the brushes for the electrical contacts the are under the rewind assembly. Adjusting speeds or ASA changes the position of the contacts.
It is very likely that the cable has broken and needs replaced. Canon no longer supports these nor do they have parts

Having photographic quality copy prints made will give you far longer life than the original Polaroid. Polaroid colour dyes will shift colours and eventually fade dramatically. New photographic (and some ink jet) prints will last generations without noticeable fading.
SOURCE: Polaroid film for Captiva
Polaroid 500 films for Captiva are not distributed anymore.
You can still order them from Kodac or at any service shop.
The only online place where you can buy it is on Ebay:
Polaroid 500 filmpack - 10 pictures
Type polaroid 500 into Ebay bar in your country to find offers.
Regarding Fuji, this is the most similar product (Australia), I am not sure they work on captiva, some seller sells them for polaroid 500
More offers (worldwide)::
Fujifilm FP-100C
$9 to $14 - 8 stores
Fujifilm FP-100C - 4 x 5"
$20 to $33 - 5 stores
I would order just one Fuji pack, to test it, I was in your shoes, if it does not work get a good provision of Polaroid 500 from ebay.
