nick_bryans3 Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Hi everyone, I've just bought a used LS-30 to replace my old one which needed uneconomic repairs. I though it would be just a straight swap of the unti & eveything would be fine, but the scanner is not seen by anything (Vuescan or Nikonscan). I'm running XP pro, ASPI look OK (version 4.6), terminator is set to on (no other SCSI devices). SCSI Id is 2. I had upgared the firmwaer in the old scanner to use NikonScan 3.1, I'm not sure what the firmware f the new one is (& won't know till I can see it!). Anyone have any ideas what is wrong? Thanks a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mag_miksch Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 on boot on you see the scanner as scsi device? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick_bryans3 Posted October 6, 2004 Author Share Posted October 6, 2004 I didn't see it no, but then I didn't look too closely. I can't reboot right now but will check later. I'll also see if it works under W2K, the old unit certainly did, I'm not too sure if the old unit was broken before I installed XP or not, so maybe it's nevere worked here.

mag_miksch Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 dont know what you did, but you have to reboot after dis- and reconnecting SCSI devices^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick_bryans3 Posted October 6, 2004 Author Share Posted October 6, 2004 OK I've been testing, my old scanner is recognised fine (trouble is it doesn't work anymore) switching to the new one by just swapping the SCSI & power cables, reboot & no scanner anymore. Seems to leave only two options, the new scanner has a fault or the firmware on it doesn't work with XP. I'm using Vuescan which i think doesn't care about the firmware version anyone know if that's true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mag_miksch Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 on boot on you see alist of your SCSI devices, is this scanner there listed? And whats about ID, all SCSI devices need ID, perhaps the ID of the new scanner is used already by another device. IMO its not a problem of Vuescan or firmware^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick_bryans3 Posted December 31, 2004 Author Share Posted December 31, 2004 Just to put this one to bed, turns out the scanner was knackered. I returned it & it's unrepairable. Now have a new Scan Dual IV which is OK. similar quality but still seems a bit noisier (visual rather than audible) than the old LS-30, but I'm reasonably happy with it, and the price is good now I mostly shoot with digital. Thanks for all the suggestions though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
