Microtek ScanMaker 9800XL Flatbed Scanner

Misty white bands down the side of scan bed

posted by sansstress on Aug 05, 2007


Hi, on my Scanmaker 9800XL after changing the lamp and inverter I have white bands down the left side of the scan bed !

Could this be dirt on one of the mirrors or a problem with the CCD or processor ?

About 2cm along the left side the scan is blurred and about 4cm from the left side I get white misty light over the scan.

The old inverter had melted burnt components on it. I wonder if this could have damaged other components of the scanner other than the lamp ?

Thanks for any advice you could give me.
