If your Canon is like my Canon, I would release the lock on the
bottom of the device :-)
ano ano... but thats not the problem... it just frozen while
scanning.. seems that the head got blocked, but when I unblocked it,
usb wont find it anymore...
it finds it only when I scroll it a bit faster on an certain point of
the motor, buit when I try to scroll it normally so I get the normal
head position, nothing happens :s
any ideas welcome..
Buy a new one! Sorry to be blunt, but scanners are often cheap to buy and
built with with non-serviceable electronics like custom ICs etc. Unless this
is a high-end professional scanner, I'd start looking for a new one.
If you're handy at electronics, then by all means do some basic
testing/troubleshooting inside, you may get lucky and find something easy to
fix.
I'd check the ribbon cable to the scan head first, they can go open circuit
for obvious reasons.
