HELP PLEASE MY SCANNER IS WRECKED


Help please. My I have not used my scanner is two weeks I laid a photo down for scan and wierd lines of light showed up. They run the length of the photo. I have a picture I just can't post it. I can't tell if this is a hardware or software problem. Shouldn't be hardware and can't figure out how it could be software. I am tell you guys I scanned in quite a few photos and then today it does this. I Havn't changed any settings or installed anything new or uninstalled anything. Please help I also mention its a epson perfection 1250

Thanks again

Sure this is not a photo per se but I always run the scanner to check for dust before I put a print in and this is what I got.

  If you hold the lid open while you try and scan something do you see the light? If not the lamp might be burned out.

  Yep light works fine. Those strips have got better the more I try it but still destroying my photos.

  Well my only other suggestion is to contact the manufactuer. And if they cant fix it, and you are still under warranty, they should replace.

  Ok thanks anyway. I have called the Epson number they said its not under warranty and I must use the on-line support. I have e-mailed them twice and have not recieved anything back.

  Well if they have an online chat, use that. If they still don't email you back, try the number and tell them that you have and that they haven't emailed you back.
