Title: Bulb burns out
Review: Like many other uses, I have had nothing but problems with this scanner. The first one I had the bulb burned out after just 2 months. Although under warantee instead of just shipping me a new bulb (they are easy to access for replacement) Microtek insisted I ship the entire scanner to them for fixing at my cost. On my second bulb now, it only lasted about 6 months, this time with me always turning the scanner off when not in use. Replacement is more expensive than the scanner itself when out of warantee, and customer service leaves a LOT to be desired. If there was a source to purchase replacement bulbs I would recommend this scanner, when working it's a nice product. Since I can't locate replacement bulbs I would never purchase this scanner again, or any other product from Microtek, due to their horrible customer service.
