Epson scanner returns blank scans

[Michael A. Terrell]

I have the same problem with my 1670. It was working fine less than two
weeks ago but now in preview mode it returns a white page just as if I
had no document on the scanner. I deleted the old drivers and software
and re-installed but still same problem.

Are the brightness and contrast settings at default?

I have an epson perfection 1660 scanner that was giving a 'badly scrambled'
images. It looked kind of like a tv picture with horizontal sync lost.

I took it apart and re-seated all the 'flexable cables' at each end and it
fixed it.

Tried that. I even took out the loooong flex cable that follows the
bulb/camera carriage and ohm'd it out. It was OK. Still, no joy.

It's binned.
