Canon 8800 scanner issues

Not my first line scanner but ended up using Canon scanner with vuescan. There was a new update which I doubt has anything thing to do with this. After a few batches I suddenly get a message warming lamp and before that is finished the process stops and goes back to beginning. When I hit preview again I get the same sequence of events. This scanner does not have a function to warm the lamp and nothing else is different. Does this mean the lamp is dead and I should just trash scanner. It is not the top of the line but I do not want to discard something that might still be functioning.

Thanks

Don
