I thought that the head was blocked, and it seems that it was.. so I put it on the correct position, but the usb notifies me just for a sec that I have it plugged and I get hardware malfucntion error sign... I tried aligning slowly the motor but I cant never get that normal USB found new hardware msg... so, anyone has an idea how to get it work? thanls -- hr.rec.ronjenje °((( contact me: |

If your Canon is like my Canon, I would release the lock on the bottom of the device :-) -- Kind regards, Gerard Bok |

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. Dave |

Dave sure, np... well, as hard u may see this, in my country its hard to find scanners ranging from 600x1,200dpi cheaper than 100-150bucks, and since Im a student which depends from a limited money, hard to get it :s ill try to check ribbon cable... and do some work after to see... thanks anyway bye -- hr.rec.ronjenje °((( contact me: |
