[filmscanners] Re: Dark Lines on Negative Scans with HP
Great news. I hope so too. The sad part about these scanners is they
are hardly worth repairing. The CCD is probably one of the more
expensive parts in the whole thing.
HP does send "rebuilt" units or warranty sometimes, so check the unit
out fully when it arrives, since you probably only have 90 days on the
replacement, since your warranty will have run out before then.
