Why do I get blue horizontal lines when scanning with color on a HP ScanJet G2410?

I have an HP Scanjet G2410 flatbed scanner that was working perfectly until now. When I try to scan something in color I get these large horizontal lines at the top and bottom of the picture. For some reason this only happens when I choose the Color option, the Grayscale and Black White options work fine. Things I already tried: Replacing the cables Reinstalling the driver Trying to scan on a different PC Is there anything I can do to fix it or is it broken beyond repair?
