The brush arrived today (blame Australia Post for taking an entire week to delivery it from Sydney - what a joke!). I've run it through the scanner numerous times as per the instructions. Actually the instructions say three times - when that was ineffective I tried it again. The scanner still cycles continuously. Since it's three months out of warranty I'm going to try opening the case and using a "normal" brush on the sensor. Rob (but first find a brush...) Rob Geraghty [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://wordweb.com
