Hey everyone, Having some scanner issues here that I'd love some input on considering that googling the issue doesn't seem to turn up my issue.

So I have Canon CanoScan 200 that was working just fine up until a few weeks ago when it randomly started acting up. It would scan fine the first time, but the actual internal machinery that moves and scans wouldn't move back to its original place. So attempting to scan a second image would either freeze up the software, or result in a connection error message.

I updated drivers but it didn't seem to change anything. I disconnected the USB and reconnected it and it set it back to a proper starting position and would scan again from there. But it turned in to me having to pull the USB (which also acts as the power) every time I wanted to scan.

Today I went to pull the trick again to scan properly, and the internal machinery actually just stalled out even before a proper scan could be made. Pulling the USB doesn't work, restarting my computer doesn't work.

I'm rubbish at figuring out computery tech bits so my first thought is "It's time to throw up a couple of emergency commission slots so I can buy an all new scanner". Unless any one can advise me otherwise.
