Hi there!
My Scanner died with a lot of noise, caused by a incorrect stepping. The
scan-unit went for and back in little steps, but could move.
e.g. for a preview-scan it moves from the starting place to the middle,
stopping there and going back, the image is stretched.
Trying a normal scan it makes so much noise, that I abort the scan.
As I remember, there was a message stating something about fragmentation, but
I'm not sure before or after the last working scan.
The last correct scan was a tpa-scan with a high resolution, maybe 1200 dpi.
Most scans I made werde in resolutions < 1200 dpi using the normal or the
tpa-unit.
My Power Supply seems not to be broken as the lamps are correctly on, the
scanning unit moves - I think the motor or the electronic parts to control
the motor have died. Especially as the movements make terrible noise!
I hope this helps!
CU
Alexander
