Gentlemen: OS: Mandriva 2008 Sane: 1.0.19 Scanner: Microtek X6EL frontend: xsane Problem: TMA(lightlid) does not light up. The scanner appears to be working properly otherwise. It works well in reflective mode. When I select the option: Use the lightlid ? 35 mm adapter the scanner scans with the flatbed light off, but the lightlid does not light up. Using an external light source yields an image. I cannot rule out a mechanical/physical failure; I have no way to test the lid for such a failure. However, the lid has had very little use over the years and it worked well the last time I used it with a dual installation of windows 98. My present motherboard does not support windows 98, so that is no longer an option. Thank you. Respectfully, George Herzog
