Microtek scanner disassembly?

B

Brian Ketterling

Hi --

I have a Microtek ScanMaker 4900. Can anyone tell me how to remove the top
of the case? I'd like to clean the underside of the glass, as it has quite
a bit of haze (especially in the front corners) and specks of dust.

Thanks
Brian

This info. on cleaning the glass on a Microtek 2500 was just recently posted
to another forum. Maybe it will apply to your unit:

Here are direction for opening the scanner. I have them saved from some old
post from somewhere, and I think they come from Microtek:

Follow these basic steps:
1. Turn the scanner off.
2. Take the lid off the hinges.
3. Place something in the locking hole towards the back of the scanner and
gently push down.
4. While the locking mechanism is depressed, slide the reflective glass
toward the back position.
5. Clean the scanner with mild detergent and a lint-free rag. Note: Always
spray the detergent on the rag and not directly on the scanner

Good luck,
Doug
