scanner's dead
5 years ago
General
I rearranged my desk area and my 12 year old all-in-one did not survive being unplugged and plugged back in. rip
Tomorrow I'm going to try putting some conductive grease on the power supply contacts and see if that helps, but the whole thing was on its way out tbh. I haven't been able to use the printer in years and even scanning required restarting it two or three times.
It's probably useless to ask for new scanner recommendations because the rest of my computer is *also* 12+ years old, but if I can't breathe some life back into it I'll be considering upgrades across the board. In the meantime, though, I can't scan anything- nor can I work from photos because my SD card reader is also part of the all-in-one. So it may be a bit before I can post new stuff!

FA+

I gotta be honest though I'm pretty impressed at an all-in-one lasting 12 years to begin with!
