My scanner makes a funny noise when it is on. Sounds like something spinning (mirrors maybe) inside are making contact with the case or something.

I'm sorry. Nothing like that has happened with my scanner. I have no idea how to address the problem.

That isnt normal to make noise like that. There are mirrors inside that spin though (that is how you see a red line), but it shouldn't make noise.

Try removing the batteries, and leave them out for a couple of hours before putting them back in. It is possible there is a static buildup on the sensor. I had a similar problem with a desktop scanner, and performing a power cycle solved the problem. Other than that contact VuPoint tech support.

It could be a software update. Or it could be your hard drive is going. If you are still within warranty get it checked out asap.

Picked one up today and it does the same thing. They should at least mention it in the manual. I wasn't sure if it was normal. Apparently it is. Thanks for bringing this up and thanks for your follow up.

It sounds like a battery issue. That happened to me and I had to replace the battery.

I wish I knew how to explain it but yeah its normal, I get that too. That sound is like a cracking-poping sound I'm pretty sure it's the driver in the antenna. Just like your computer makes the same sounds the antenna does it too.

I wish I did. That honestly sounds like a mechanical issue, have you had any paper jams, and if so are you sure all the junk paper is cleaned out? Just a random thought. I haven't had any noise issues with mine.

Hi - I would call the manufacturer or return it. I have the same printer and it doesn't make that noise.

Mine doing the same thing. I tapped like you said, and it stopped the noise, thanks for the tip. Probably due to a cheap fan bearing, hopefully it will last for awhile. Toshiba charges $150.00 bucks just to open up the case if you have to get it repaired. I wonder if this is user-fixable.

yes, works perfectly fine. as others mentioned, i'd do the scanning after the case is on since you kind of have to roll your finger due to the lip of the case.

It makes what sounds like a little bell noise while it is shredding. It's most pronounced with you use the credit care shredder slot.Works great, just makes a strange noise.

The scanner comes with a cleaning pad. You might have dust on the scanner. Try using that. If that don't work I'd reinstall the scanner to your computer or you would h aft to contact newsman for service assistance. But cleaning it would be your best bet to start with

The lid lifts off completely for scans like this. remember to unplug the connecting cable first!

Sorry, but I am not sure what this means; the only noise is sometimes very faint clicks when it is on but nothing's playing.

I absolutely adore my Toshiba, but this noise is driving me INSANE. Figured there was just some fur in there (I have two cats), but I'm glad to know that it's not just mine. I'm gonna try the oil thing. The tap didn't really work.

I am getting the same thing. It is a buzzing/loud humming noise. Anybody know if this is a defect or if something else can be creating this?
