It is not possible to get to the bottom two screws out without tilting the scan bed/cover back more. To that, I had to disconnect the swing arm on the right side of the scanner bed/cover. After that, all worked smoothly. Thank you.

I have this model too and the scanner quits scanning - usually in mis-scan. I then have to cancel and shut down the machine. Lifting an end of the machine and dropping it (that's right) usually brings the scanning operation back to life once power is restored. I'm curious - what were the symptoms the author of the guide ran into? Why the gear? Why not the electronics? Where can one get the gear?
