84030 2002-09-28 04:14:00 I have a BearPaw 1200CU Scanner (made by Mustek). The bulb or what ever gives off the light is blown and needs replacing. According to the Mustek web site this scanner does not use a Cold Cathode flourescent tube but a type of LED. This sound strange but thats what is says.

Can anyone back up this information or give me some places to look for a replacment bulb/LED.

Thanks for any help

It eliminates the lenses and mirrors (mechanical parts) used in the older scanners. I guess that Mustek are using the same thing. Electronic parts are cheaper to build than precision mechanical ones. That keeps the factory costs down. Graham L (2)

You could be life saver! I'v found The comworth system web site and they have bits and pieces for my scanner. I am just waiting for a price on the specific part.

thanks so much
