Probably dumpster time, alas. The light doesn't come back on when you try to open the scanner driver software?
Here I insert my predictable lament about Agfa's exit from the scanner business. They really made the good stuff for graphic arts uses. Even their consumer-grade scanners were pretty nice products overall. They must've seen the writing on the wall with scanner prices dropping like lead bricks at the time.
My own SnapScan e50 is still working great. The Mac OS X software, last modified back in the 10.1.x days IIRC, still works fine in Tiger and Photoshop CS2.
