Selecting A Work Area
It is important that you begin by planning where you will lay your disassembled parts.
Locate an area with a workbench, table or desk with plenty of space.
Make sure that the area is clear of any other parts from other devices, as the many screws and
nuts can be easily confused.
We recommend that you lay a sheet or tablecloth on the surface you will be working on. This
will prevent tools, parts and screws from sliding around and falling to the floor. This will also
prevent any parts from scratching the surface of the work area.
Before You Start
In order to prevent any short-circuiting of the electronic chips on the scanners motherboard, it is
very important that you ground yourself by simply touching the metal part or parts of your PC.
Make sure that the area you touch on your PC is bare metal and not coated with paint or plastic.
This will allow for any static electricity to discharge from your body.
Reminder: Make sure that the scanner power cable is disconnected from the back of the scanner at this
point.
Note: Care should be taken throughout all disassembly and reassembly procedures never to smudge or
soil the lens or either mirror.
