Difficulty

Moderate

Steps

Time Required

15 - 20 minutes

Introduction

This guide replaces the light for the scanner. You will need to know how to remove the touch pad and the scanning glass to get to the scanning light. Also, skip step 8 that explains how to remove the scanning glass from the scanning surface. You don't need to complete this step to get to the scanning light.

Tools

T10 Torx Security Bit Screwdriver

Step 1

Tilt the touchscreen as far forward as possible.
Remove the two (2) 15mm T-10 Torx screws from behind the screen.

Step 2

Once the screws are removed, apply a steady upward force on the front bottom corners of the screen until it pops loose.
Be careful to not move the screen too far from the printer before disconnecting it. You may damage the connections within the printer if you do.

Step 3

Before removing the ribbon cable, flip the black bar up to unlock the cable. Grab the blue area of the cable near the connector and pull straight out of the socket.
Pull this plug straight out of the socket slowly.
Be careful when pulling out these ribbon cables. If you pull too hard or don't unlock the cable, you can damage the connection.

Step 4

Once the ribbon cables have been removed, your screen should be free of the printer.

Step 5

Lift the scanning cover until it is vertical.
Press on the cover near the two hinges.

Step 6

Pull the plate from the middle away from the printer until the tab is free.
Slide the plate towards the back of the printer until the latches are released.
Remove both side plates before you proceed.

Step 7

Remove the five (5) 15mm T10 Torx screws.
Lift the scanner surface from the front where the screen was to remove it.
If you are only trying to clean the glass, stop here and follow the instructions in reverse order to reassemble your device.

Step 8

Make sure you are careful with the glass, as it can cut you if it breaks.
Apply force to the glass near where it is joined with the scanner surface.
Once the glass is removed, insert your new replacement glass and make sure it is firmly attached to the scanner surface.
