I took the top off and sprayed dust off in hopes that if dust were clogging the sensor ( as noted on Poloaroid Web Site) that this would take care of it. I will be calling them to get the dust brush that they recommend ( but was never in my kit). The last time this happened it was still under warranty and I sent it in and they "lost" it for a few minutes - when they found it , it was miraculously back to me in a few days - glad I called them! They never had the courtesy to say what the problem was. I'll keep you posted. ernie - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us]On Behalf Of Rob Heyman Sent: Tuesday, September 03, 2002 12:34 AM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: Re: [Leica] OT - Help - my Polaroid Scanner is Dead Ernest,, I have just read all the replies and only Tina seemed to offer any hope. I have the same scanner and work it to death. It sometimes does the same thing you describe and the solution is to unplug it at the back, turn your windows machine off, replug the scanner, THEN start your ss4000, THEN boot your computer. This doesn't work every time but when it does start, I then leave it turned on. This all started happening to me about six weeks ago and has happened about three times. Not a very scientific fix, I'm afraid, but other than a good drop-kick out the back door, I can't think of anything else. Let me know if it works.
