Hi Stefan, if this may encourage you, I had a similar (although not so evident) problem with my FS4000 out of the box. My first scans had a darker line of a few pixels at about 1/3 of the frame. The problem suddenly disappeared after a couple of hours, never to come back, after the first scan I made with Vuescan rather than FilmGet. Now I don't think software may play a role, here, so I tend to think it may have been some dirt which after a while was somehow dislodged, like Art is suggesting here.
good luck, Alessandro Pardi > -----Original Message----- > From: Arthur Entlich [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > Hi Stefan... > > You see you shouldn't bring your scanner skydiving, they just aren't > designed for that kind of stress ;-) > <snip> > > Definitely do NOT take you scanner apart.
