I have a UMAX Astra 2200 scanner that has stopped working. The power LED flickers, but won't stay on solid. The User's Manual says this might be caused by failure of the scanner lamp, but the UMAX Tech support said 'Don't know what the problem is, but it's not the lamp" and "if it's out of warranty it's not worth repair since repair is $85 + parts, and parts are not available to the public."
Before I send it to the land fill, I thought I'd ask around to see if anyone can suggest something. The power supply (wall-wart device) gets a little warm, but seems to put out a good steady 12.00 volts DC.
