How can I clean the inside of the glass on my Epson Perfection V200 Photo ?

I know this is an old question but I wanted to close the loop. Opened a V100 scanner using this technique and yes, it does require more force at the controls end. Use a flat blade screwdriver to pry the plastic apart, just keep working a bit at a time and it WILL come apart.

OK - take out two crosshead screws on the hinge side. open it up a couple of centimetres. insert a knife blade on the opposite side (at end away from controls) up into the top section to pull it away - it comes quite easily and does not damage the plastic. reinsert the knife at the control end to pull the top outwards (needs a little more force) and then the whole thing comes open. it just clicks back together again and reinsert the screws.

Hi Rob,

Thanks for the info, unfortunately I have already tried that and the answer was "It is a sealed system, contact your local Epson Service Centre". Obviously the unit is not 'sealed' enough to stop lots of dust entering.
