Expert advise please how to fix this problem with this scanner or suggestions.
Bought a Eversmart II scanner. The former owner gave me his old Mac to try out, because it worked at his place in January with his set up but during the move something happened at my place. During shipping I locked and unlocked the 2 screws.
Had the same problem again as I had with my somewhat newer G3 Mac "Motion Board" communication error.
I also have the diagnostic for this scanner and run it.
Everything okay except "scsi_interrupt_test 0 ( looks like an O but has short lines in the shape of an O) the interrupt_type is 232" and
"Motion Board Communication error ( type e8)" comes up
Found the Motion board, took it out and in again as well as the SCSI board - looks clean no burns.
However there is a red LED light on the Motion board card that blinks all the time.
The green LED light on the SCSI board lights up steady.
Also the green Stand By light next to the green Power light never stops blinking. Should be steady green after 30 sec.
Any specialist out there that could tell me about this problem. The scanner looks so new as I bought it and is hardly used.
Also the carriage moves and lamps come on.
Thanks again for your effort.
