Scanner will not connect to computer. Light is

There are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue of your Watts film/slide scanner not communicating with your Windows 10 computer:

Check the USB connection: Ensure that the USB cable is properly connected to both the scanner and the computer. Try connecting the scanner to a different USB port on your computer to see if it is recognized.

Install the scanner driver: Make sure that you have installed the correct driver software for your scanner. Visit the manufacturer's website and download the latest driver for your scanner model and operating system. Then, install the driver software on your computer.

Restart your computer: Sometimes, simply restarting your computer can resolve issues with USB devices not being recognized.

Check device manager: Open the device manager on your computer and look for any yellow exclamation marks or warning symbols. This could indicate an issue with the scanner driver or a conflict with other USB devices.

Update Windows: Make sure that your Windows 10 operating system is up-to-date. Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and check for any available updates.

Try a different computer: If none of the above steps work, try connecting the scanner to a different computer to see if it is recognized. If it works on another computer, there may be an issue with your Windows 10 system or USB port.

If none of the above steps resolve the issue, you may need to contact the manufacturer's technical support for further assistance.

If your HP Scanjet 200 is not working, here are some troubleshooting steps you can take:

1. Check the power supply: Make sure the scanner is properly connected to the power source and that the power cord is securely plugged in. If it's connected to a power strip or surge protector, try plugging it directly into a wall outlet.
2. Check the USB connection: Make sure the USB cable is properly connected between the scanner and your computer. Try using a different USB cable or a different USB port on your computer.
3. Check the scanner driver: Make sure the scanner driver is properly installed on your computer. You can download the latest driver from the HP website and reinstall it.
4. Restart the scanner and computer: Turn off the scanner and your computer, then turn them back on and try scanning again.
5. Clean the scanner glass: If the scanner glass is dirty, it can affect the quality of the scanned images. Clean the scanner glass with a soft, lint-free cloth and a non-abrasive glass cleaner.
6. Check for error messages: If there are any error messages displayed on the scanner or on your computer, check the HP support website for more information on how to resolve them.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, it may be necessary to contact HP support or a professional technician for further assistance. They can help diagnose and fix the problem safely and effectively.

This sounds like there is a mechanical problem inside the scanner. You may want to open the scanner to see if there is anything broken or jammed. It may need some lubrication if it has been unused for a long period of time.

1. Verify the monitor's power cord is plugged firmly into the wall outlet and the back of the monitor.
2. Verify the monitor cable is firmly connected to the computer and the monitor.
3. Verify that you have turned the monitor power switch on.
4. If the power light on the monitor is not on, test the wall outlet (plug in a light or something you know works).
5. If the power light on the monitor is not on, try a different power cord.
6. If the power light is on and yellow or flashing, but nothing displays, borrow a monitor from a friend. If that works, your monitor needs replaced.

A quick fix for most communication errors can be achieved by resetting the printer and/or rebooting the PC. Simply disconnect the printer from your computer (if USB connected)> reboot your pc > unplug and re-plug the printer into the power source to reset it. When the printer turns on, reconnect it to your computer (if USB connected). Then try to print again once the computer fully recognizes the USB connection or when the WiFi light on the printer turns solid green (if WiFi connected.).

If that doesn't help, try the steps below:

1. Disconnect the USB cable connecting the printer from your computer.
2. On your computer, go to Control Panel > Printers and Faxes.
3. Delete the Lexmark print object.
4. Reboot computer.
5. Re-brick your printer by pulling out the power supply - black box where the power cord is plugged into on the back of the printer, and re-plug after 30 seconds.
6. When the printer turns on, reconnect it to the computer.
7. Wait until your computer fully recognizes the USB connection. To check, go to Control Panel > Printers and Faxes. If you see a new Lexmark print object in the list, try to print a document to verify that the problem is fixed.

Try NOT using the USB connection.

The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.

Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program.

I would check to make sure the two shipping locks are unlocked. You can find them according to the photo I have attached. This should help out.
