My Flash Scan V2 had a hardware faliure...a pin in the USB socket broke.
How does one obtain just the FS V2 device?
Also, there's a sticker on the device that says the warranty if void if the sticker is removed. How long is the warranty?

Ok. I'm out of warranty. What the device needs is a new USB type B female connector. Since the unit is dead now, I, first want to try and put a new connector of its PC board.Quote:

Picked-up a USB Type B female at a local supply house, soldered it on the PC Board and I'm back in action.
Glad it's back working again. I'm not sure why the designers used a USB socket that does not have a plastic locating pin. I'll see if I can find out :)Quote:
