The rectangular slots in the base provide access to plastic clips which retain the cover - by the look of it, I haven't tried. They're a fairly standard form of screwless retention and need to be levered gently with a flat screwdriver blade to unclip at the same time as lifting the case lid slightly. Before you do that I'd check your SCSI card is properly seated in the computer (remove and reinsert), and make and remake cable connections and remove and replace the SCSI terminator block. If the scanner is chained with other SCSI devices, remake the connections at all of them. Trying a different terminator will also be worthwhile. The intermittency says its almost certainly a poor connection somewhere or dust/dirt, rather than a big expensive fault. You just have to find it :) -- Regards Tony Sleep http://tonysleep.co.uk ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe by mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], with 'unsubscribe filmscanners' or 'unsubscribe filmscanners_digest' (as appropriate) in the message title or body
