Hi all,
I'm trying to resurrect an old IBM IdeaScan I recently inherited without any
power cable/ac adapter. The specs on the IBM website read that I need a 15v
ac adapter. I've been unable to locate the connectors I need (I've checked
Radio Shack, Zellers & Walmart). I think I might be able to order the ac
adapter from the IBM site (in the U.S.)...but by the time I pay for the
item, shipping, customs fees, taxes, currency exchange rates, etc. I could
probably buy a brand new scanner! I couldn't find it on the IBM Canada
website.
I've been asked by a friend to scan about 50-60 documents and I'd like to be
able to help her out without going to great expense to do so.
The bottom line is...I'd like to know if there's any solution to not having
the power connection. Can I use an ac adapter that's less than 15v? Any
help is greatly appreciated.
TIA,
Karen in Keswick (Ontario, Canada)
