I ..... After that noise made by the gear on the belt I checked the optical sensor and I obstructed it to see if the motor stop, but nothing happen. I thought that the sensor it doesn't do its job, but after I assemble it again everything works fine, no more noise but the scanned document still have some shadows and just after some scanning a vertical stripe appeared again. By the way, I didn't tell that I don't have the original power adapter(12V/1.5A) and I use another adapter(12V/1A). I checked to see if get hot but looks to work fine.
