Thanks for your reply guys.
I agree that many cheap peripherals, like printers and scanners, are usually considered as disposables. Anyway, I just wanted to confirm that it was not just a minor issue, or something that can be easily repaired, before I throw it away.
I am just curious guys, but...
I opened the scanner to check if there is loose connection somewhere or a blown capacitor. It appears that there is none.
Although I found out that there is a small tear in the ZIF cable, but its far to the side and I'm not sure if the covered wire near the side has been cut. Could this be it...
Hi,
My scanner has suddenly malfunctioned. The scan head moves but it does'nt output any images - only bands of colors. Any ideas?
The scanner is a Microtek Scanmaker 4800 and I am using the lastest ScanWizard 5 v6.3 software.
Thanks.
