I have a LS2000 and gives me the same problem;  the strip come inside
the scan but it´s not recognised, and i can´t scan it. After trying many
times, i ended to put it apart and i scan with the FH2 strip holder with
the MA-20 slide mount adapter.

With nikon spain technical service, i don´t want to talk again not by
phone, not by email: loose time, and the only answer is "send the
scanner".  they are so (so!) expensive and resolve the  problems just
for 3 months.

I had problems with the focus, the people on this forum gives me (so
quickly ) the answer: just clean, and how!  Meanwhile, the spanish
technical on-line service, answered, but ten days after my question:
before anything, you must register on something called "nikonist club" ,
of course you must  look for your garanty, the bill of purchasing, etc.,
fill information about you, and this way you will  "join this exclusive
club full of advantages", between them, the users atenttion. The user
attention never must be an "advantage", must be a right when you buy a
semi-pro item as seemed it was the LS2000.

All the time i have been (i am) user of nikon cameras and from the first
o second month after i bought the LS2000 i had discovering myself ,
surprisingly, hating the nikon company; well , really just its
"interface" with its customers, with the people that from decades were
supporting its products.
