Hi guys. May I ask, if I plugged the scanner to a 220v outlet instead of a 110v accidentally and switchee it on, is it still repairable? Didnt realize that the scanner was a 110v.

Any answer is helpful. Thank you!

Probably fried. I did that with a portable grinder when I was 12 years old. It set a new RPM record for about 5 seconds, then became an odd looking doorstop.

That's one mean looking doorstop. Haha Thanks for the info! Hopefully someone thinks or knows its still fixable. It would be hard looking for a new one with that model here in my country. Very sad. I should've checked that it may be 110v. Forgot that those things existed. Oh well. Hind sight is 20/20. I owe my gf a nice scanner for film scanning.

Yeah probably fried. Not sure about your country but here be hard to plug a 110 volt device into a 220 volt outlet since the plugs have different configuration.

The outlet and plug are not the same. We are just used to using an adpater everytime the plugs are different. Forgot there was a time that not every/most of the appliances are 220v. My gf was so excited in trying out the scanner. It was her dream to scan negatives. Its a sad day. Its a lesson for me to always check the power rating.

You might check to see if it had a built-in protection device, such as a fuse. If it does, replace the fuse and then give it another try (on 110V of course).

Will have to check that. Thanks!

the main board was fried from the over voltage. You can buy another one. Epson Perfection 4990 | eBay
Or if you only need the Negative Scanner and not the glass bed scanner negative scanner for PC | eBay
