re: old scanner on old 98 pc stopped working Sunday, August 23, 2009 at 8:19 am Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by cheryl pocino (3 messages posted) Thanks again for your help and suggestions. It turns out the problem was the power converter. It was emitting enough power to light the ready light but not enough to light the bulb or power the scanner do it went undetected by the PC. We got two exact same model power converters from online and one of them worked great. We are back to scanning! Thanks again for your suggestions.
