Scott,
there are some slightly weird things about these scanners to do with
insering the film to the right position etc. which cause them to appear not to
be working properly. I can't quite remember the issues but I know it always
takes me a while to get mine "working". Sometimes the driver seems to not
initialise properly. Fiddle around with how deep the film is inserted maybe. I
think the stack loader always works correctly? They do have a stepper motor
failure mechanism, but I beleive if they did not have an early failure with
this problem, they are likely ok in the long term. This would seem to apply to
your unit!. Vuescan works so much better than Nikonscan to drive these and may
be more XP compatible if using windows. Also seem to remember it is quite
important to get the right Scsi driver off the adaptec website. I got a very
generic cheap Adaptec card that worked well with mine. The compatibility of the
latest scsi cards does not allways seem so good with older
low
bandwidth generic devices. Focus issues may be due to damage in transport , I
have not had any trouble with that, despite transporting mine unlocked. I
downloaded a variety of useful tips off of the web after a lot of searching,
when I first got mine, Nikon is not at all helpful

If there's better forum for these questions, please point me there.
I recently sold a Nikon LS2000 scanner. Bought it a while back from a
respected repair tech, tried it once and realized I needed more
computer horsepower to do it right and packed it away 'til I sold it.
Buyer is having lock-up and focus problems. Anyone familiar with how
to fix 'em? I aghast that I sent problems to someone else.
Side note . . . he initially operated it with the bottom transport
screw in place. Could that have caused the problems?
TIA!/ScottGee1
