My scanner, a Canoscan FB630, is dying.

'E's not pinin'! 'E's passed on! This [scanner] is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! 'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'im to the perch 'e'd be pushing up the daisies! 'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig! 'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisible!! THIS IS AN EX-[scanner]!!

Thank you and apologies to Monty Python and John Cleese.

I will replace it soon, but, for now it will have to suffice. The images I am getting out of it are grainy, spotty, sometimes missing entire sections. The ones that are acceptable will be posted. The rest, will have to wait until I find myself some new hardware.
