Nothing taxing was being scanned and I have been anal about watching the temp of the scanners so im really at a loss as to why this happened. I really would prefer a reason - at least then you can take preventitive measures.
As for replacement - yes I have one in my possesion already! (its amazing what you can acheive with a friendly community like PL) I will be doing a rebuild this eve. and will take pix and detail it later on - so watch this space.
