I brought a
coolscan 9000 the last month without the film holders, software etc just the
scanner. A friend of mine sold me it for a good price. I run Leopard in a
Powerbook G4 15” 1.2 ghz 2 Gigas
ram. I installed the Nikon scan 4 and when I open it the scanner report an
error: The Scanner has reported a hardware error... every time that I run the
program this message appears. I thought that this was because I hadn’t got the
film holders. When the film holders arrive from USA the same problem appears :
The Scanner has reported a hardware error... Them I tried Silverfast Software.
In this case the scanner report another error: there are not film holder ( or
something like that). I uninstalled Nikon Software with the same utility to
install it. Reinstall the Software and the same ****** problem. When I switch
on the scanner a loud noise came from inside, after this the blinking light
stopped and nothing happen ( no calibration, no light inside, nothing). Just
one thing. The Scanner has reported a hardware error...
I checked
on internet and the solution of switch it of and on doesn’t work. CALL TO THE
NIKON SERVICE that’s was my only solution.
Of course I
didn’t . The price of the scanner was 300 Pounds.
SO I OPENED
IT.
I REMOVED
THE SCREWS FROM THE BACKSIDE AND FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE SCANNER. I TOOK THE
METALLIC CASE OF: PICTURE
1. After a while looking everything without touch I’m start to check for
the connection cables one by one, WHEN DISCOVER THAT ONE CABLE PLUG THAT GOES
FROM THE SCANNER TO THE FIREWARE BOARD WAS DESCONECTED…. PICTURE
2 Maybe on the shipping this plug looses his place. SO I SWITCH ON THE
SCANNER AND THE PROBLEM DOESN’T APPEAR. Now the problem was that the film
holder wasn’t recognising from the scanner. So I followed the steps that most
frequently indicate on the web:
1-Close the
scan program –
2-Turn off and unplug the scanner
3-Plug the LS9000 back in and turn it on
4-Reopen the scan program
The scanner worked. When I switch on the scanner take a minute or so to
calibrate and determinate the film holder. Them I open the Nikon Scan 4 and
every looked nice. I could scan my first negative ALELUYAAAAA. So I close
everything without the screws so I put the scanner vertical to put back the
metal case ones I finished I turned on the scanner and the Nikon program. For
my surprise the same ******* error I couldn’t believe it.
I opened it again and I found the cause of the problem . BECAUSE THE SCANNER WAS ON VERTICAL BEFORE,
THE METALLIC GUIDE THAT CONNECT WITH THE SERVO WAS MOVED (Move the scanner from
one place to another may cause this issue) So with my finger I putted it in the
same place. THE SCANNER WORK’S.
After this the only problem was a big loud gnashing and grinding noise
that I sorted with CELOTAPE BETWEEN THE TWO PIECES THAT WAS SEPARATED BEFORE.

Now the scanner work fine. Sorry for my **** English and I hope that
someone can find useful this information.
If you have done what is says and still have the problem, uninstall the software and reinstall. 99% of the time this will do it. If not return it to the seller or send it to Nikon for repair. Did you buy it new from a dealer? If you've only had it two weeks it should be covered by warranty.
HPM2727mfp - Scanner Error 5 - Scanner Error 8
These errors indicate a problem with the flatbed scanner assembly. The flatbed is no longer able to initialize or find home position. The scanner may move back and forth continually and the light flicker at a high rate of speed. The flatbed scanner will need to be serviced/changed. The part required is CB532-67905
Please contact your local Hewlett Packard Repair Center.
I hope this has been of assistance.
