My advice would be to contact Epson directly on the replacement. My 2450 is the same vintage as yours and has seen plenty of use but without any dim or dark areas in the light source. These are probably florescent tubes and you're seeing the effect of aging.

Recently I noticed that the 4x9 inch light source in the lid no longer gives even illumination - there are a couple of darker areas across the field. Does anyone know if this is a normal effect of the aging of the TPU lamp(s), and if so, can the lamps be replaced easily?
