I'm trying to find a replacement bulb for an IBM 0275-001 flatbed scanner,
and have had zip luck locating one either on the Web or over the phone.
On-line searches have turned up mostly places which specialize in home
lighting.

I called IBM's parts and service center and they don't even have a part
number -- their policy is to replace the whole scanner if it's under
warranty, which of course it isn't.

This scanner has certain features which I haven't been able to find in
any other scanner, and I'd really like to replace the lamp and keep
using it.

Anybody have any idea where one goes to get a replacement scanner lamp?

Posted or e-mail replies OK.

Thanks.

If you pop open the scanner, does the bulb have any numbers on it?

Is there an FCC ID number? You may be able to search with that and find an
alternate manufacturer.

You may just have to purchase a replacement:

Do a search on www.google.com for "Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp".

I found these cold cathode lamp kits.

And this company, they may have the very lamp you need. Take your scanner
apart and get the number from the lamp.

Found a reference manual online:
http://inf33-www.informatik.unibw-muenchen.de/infothek/computer/tutorial/eprmhtml/eprm0/2116.htm

There was a thread on that subject a few years ago. Long link.
