Re: How to disassemble Epson 2580

I have one more suggestion.

Look at my web pages on cleaning a Canon 8400F and look at the pages on
taking apart other canon scanners.

http://www.carlmcmillan.com/CanonScanner/Canon.htm

http://www.carlmcmillan.com/Canon9950/Canon9950.htm

The one common thing is the screws are hidden in various places.

Look in the well for the hinges and look at pieces of plastic parts that can
be pulled off.
Some screws are hidden behind rubber plugs, maybe even the rubber feet.

Thanks, but I had exhausted that avenue before my post. The 2450 is
sufficiently different that the directions were no help. Further down
in the yahoo groups thread the guy admitted that he broke the circuit
board that connects the front panel switches.

I'm afraid that jocular though it was, Paul Heslop's advice a couple
posts back to take a hammer to it may be the best way.

Subject says it. The underside of the glass has developed a cloudy film
and I'd like to clean it. Epson is, of course, no help, "Do not
disassemble the scanner," is the advice in the manual.

Any ideas?

TIA, Vince

Google is your friend: I used the search: "how to clean glass epson
scanner"
without quotes.

This is a link to cleaning a epson 2450, maybe your scanner is similar.
