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

First you need a hammer and a flat bladed screwdriver. Place
screwdriver head between edge of glass and casing and strike with some
force. Now you need a car or taxi to go buy a new one :O)

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.

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.

who said I was joking?

:O)

seriously though, it is painful how they build these things sometimes.
Yeah, I know they like to make money out of us with repairs etc but it
really is a bind.
