[filmscanners] RE: SS4000 gone south - help please!

["Thomas Maugham" <TMaugham@yahoo.com>]

I've got the ss4000 also.

It sounds to me that the carrier mechanism is jammed.  Try removing the
cover, there are four tabs on the bottom, and see if anything is clogging
the mechanism.  Could be part of the slide or film carrier (check them
carefully for missing pieces) or part of a negative or slide mount.  It
wouldn't take very much to cause it to jam.

If you need more info on taking the cover off contact me off-list.

Good luck!

Tom

My trusty Polaroid SS4000 has flaked out.
All I get is the blinking yellow light when I try to use it.
It is also making a noise like 60 cycle hum. I tried the
little brush that Polaroid supplies for resolving the blinking
light problem but no joy.

I'd welcome any suggestions for what else I might try.

Also does anyone here know of any repair shops in the
San Francisco/San Jose area that deal with the SS4000.

Thanks,
