Disassembly is fairly modest, but the IC repair is elaborate. The good news that the IC itself is cheap and readily available from Mouser, DigiKey and other standard suppliers. The typical symptom is that scanner passes power-up initialization fine no fast blinking , but is not recognized by a computer in Windows - Device Manager does not see it.
The scan software reports that it cannot find a scanner. But replacing it did not fix the problem Disassembly and repair are fairly modest. There are two different typical symptoms:.
Even when the motor is replaced - the scanner still fails to operate it properly. When you insert SF into the scanner - the power light blinks few times but no motor sounds occur. The scanner reports failure to load film. Scanner does not work with SA When SA is inserted it makes a loud grinding noise, see here:. Most frequently, the scanner may show one of the following problems:. See this video. If you power up the scanner with the adapter inserted, the scanner main stepper motor will make a loud high pitched whirring sound at the end of startup, see here.
Sometimes the scanner will blink fast after the loud whirring sound, sometimes not. Both of this are indicative of the main stepper motor failure.
The replacement procedure is fairly straightforward, the problem is a replacement motor. I could not find a suitable motor, so I have to scavenge older cheaper models for these. This is a fairly common failure of LS and LS's. The scan head is moved by a worm gear. The worm shaft is held in place by a steel plate on one side and by a plastic part from another side. That plastic part may break if the scanner was not handled gently during shipping etc.
Significant disassembly is required - follow the steps of Nikon disassembly procedure or Nikon disassembly procedure all the way to the end. Again, just buy a working LS on e-bay for spare parts. Unfortunately, sometimes the little gear that ties the scan-head to the worm drive breaks.
Replacing it is no more difficult than replacing the small support part above. This issue was brought to my attention by Frank Phillips. First this shows both FireWire card and Scanner installed and working in device manager First one is color negative So yes, these scanners work under Windows Tutorial updated.
