Hi


Here are some pictures:

A is the original picture, 50% in order to make it fit here.
As you can see only a part of it is in the right colours.


A part of the original scan is the B - with "waves" in it, I have seen
that before and know simply to resize. But you can see the colour
difference better.


What causes the yellowness and how can I fix it?


It looks like the signal from the "blue" sensor is intermittent --
except for that stripe halfway down, it's not getting through. This is
probably due to a loose connector, a broken wire or failed solder joint,
but possibly something else. In any case, the break is inside the
scanner, very possibly in or around the flexible cable that connects to
the traveling scan head.

If you can get the scanner apart, a close visual inspection might
indicate how it could be fixed.


I just found that. I can see that the cable i used, hence every 1,5 cm
it seems to be broken - and there truely is one broken connection.
I will try with a single wire, solder it on both ends.
But are such cables available?
Or should I take an old HD flat cable and older that on?
