There was reference by someone here... ages ago... with regard to cleaning a Nikon 4000ED. I posted a question as to how it was done and never got a reply... so, just in case someone here knows the feasibility of cleaning that particular scanner... would appreciate a feedback.... (it's a major hassle for me to send it to a Nikon service centre as there's none where i live....)

Sounds its most likely a dirty mirror which needs cleaning which is what happened to mine. I have cleaned mine which resolved the problem. Heaps of dust collects on and in the scanner if you like it or not. rob Arthur Entlich wrote: > When you use the term "flare" do you mean that light areas near dark > ones tend to be washed out around the edges, almost like a soft focus > halo around the very brightest areas? > > If so, you've brought up an issue that has been discussed before in this > group and the other scanner group without resolution. > > Since i never got a straight answer for the other people who discussed > this (and I don't own an LS2000), I was wondering if this problem is > relatively new, if it manifested over time, or if it was there since new? > > I have a suspicion, like you, that it is due to dirt or oils that got > deposited on some of the optics causing this blooming, but others are > suggesting it is an inherent CCD design issue. > > I can't answer how involved a cleaning is, but I would be interested if > you can tell me if this problem is one which has developed over time. > > Art > > Joe B. wrote: > > > I am passing my LS2000 on to my daughter but i want it to be in good order before I do so, and I've noticed it flares visibly with some scans- I assume the lens needs cleaning. Can anyone tell me anything about this- is it straightforward? Is it as simple as removing the cover and there the lens is in front of you, visible and accessible?
