now I've done it, took a deep breath and opened up both sides of the
case, dismantled it some, cleaned both sides of both glasses: the upper
lid glass, *and* the lower 'base' unit glass too. the lower part was
-very- difficult to figure out how to open, but I did it...

all illustrated and documented online, in 20 nice clear 800 x 600 images

http://machines.pandela.net/epson_perfection_4990_photo_scanner_dismantling/

by the way, I'm still looking for epson 4990 parts, used, broken, or
maybe even new. I need

= the 35mm filmstrips holder (reportedly epson part number 631204), and

= the 35mm 'mounted slides' holder (reportedly epson number 81105), and

= the white vinyl over foam thing that goes inside the upper lid, aka
"reflective document mat", part number unknown.

these things would be nice to procure my friends. give me a holler, or
shoot me an e-mail,

many thanks :-)

Dave try one to these places. They are in the business of supplying parts
for some Epson printers and maybe scanners.

At National Parts Depot this appears to be the part your searching for.

You may want to visit the site or call them.
