I have a Visoneer OneTouch 5600 USB scanner.. The last couple of weeks or so the scans have gradually been getting grayer. Now it scans everything red (the bulb glows pink), or if I tune that out, it gets really really nosie.
Is it time for a new scanner, or is there something I can tinkerwith to fix this? (Whithout spending any $)
