Thanks, Stan, That gives me an idea what to expect and to not rush at all.

Thanks, Tony. The lamp comes on immediately with the power button. There's a split-second of what might be a motor but seems more likely to be a relay driven by the power switch. I tried the Polaroid cleaning brush but to no effect. SCSI connectors seem OK and re-seating them also had no effect. It's the same for changing termination status SCSI ID. For people who've opened up their SS4000s, what did you use to unclip the 4 fasteners on the bottom? Gently working them with a screwdriver looks like one way to go.

It should light immediately when you press the power button, and if the bulb is blown I doubt it's going to go through initialisation. -- 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

Gently working them with a screwdriver looks like one way to go. I haven't done it, no need yet touch wood. But I just flipped mine over and had a look and yes, they look like typical wedge-type clips and a flat bladed screwdriver pushed gently inwards should do 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
