Hello,
I recently had a new power source installed into my old DOS computer. That
and a new fan were the only things that were replaced. The shop also did a
check of the hard drive, which is fine.
Here's the strange thing. When I plug my scanner into the computer's port,
the scanner goes into a semi-off mode that I've never encountered before.
When I pull the data cable either out of the back of the computer, or out
of the side of the scanner, the scanner makes the familiar sounds of being
turned on and ready to scan. With these sounds, I can see a bright ON
light. But when I plug the cable in, that light goes off, and a much
smaller indicator light remains on.
Also, with the cable in, the OSCAR OCR/scanning program says, "scanner not
available" when I give the command to scan.
What can be going on here? I've used this system for many years and never
had this problem.
Thanks,
Peter
