i am a 'hardware head' first, programmer second.

i do not believe that your scanner does not have a fuse. it is
probably just not exposed. if you pull cover, you should find one
inside on circuit board. power transformer may even have one or
maybe a thermo fuse.

if you care to get it going, i would suggest to first check
transformer to see if it is ok. they tend to go bad more often
than not. if ok, then pull cover and look for a fuse.

if you would like to some easy trouble shooting. i would be glad to
step you thru a few simple ways to check it out.
