How worth fixing is it? I've bought new ones for $8 after rebates, used for

| No, it's not. But I like a repair challenge, and this one needs help.

Given that "History is that this scanner died during an electrical storm" I
would look at anything connected to an external wire. That would include the
power supply. I'd also look to see if I could find a processor, and look for
activity there.
