It seems pretty unlikely it's a fault with the scanner if the failure followed
on directly from changes you made to the system. Unfortunately, I know little
about Macs except that when you hit these sorts of problems they can be
irascible. Have you tried removing all the Colorsync stuff you installed, and
reverting the system to how it was when the scanner worked? Perhaps Colorsync
needed to see the scanner during the install, and as it didn't, is now
obstructing things somehow?
Do RTFM and check there aren't transit screws or packaging which you should
have removed.
I'd also suggest you buy a USB hub (cheap) and leave the scanner permanently
connected if possible. Fewer variables = less to go wrong.
