Does anyone know how to tighten the hinges of the cover of the flatbed
on a 5750c? We are using two other 5750c's and the lids stay open on
their own. However, on the third one the lid won't, which makes
scanning books on the flatbed very difficult. Thanks....

Hello Ralph,

The fi-5750C has a unique flatbed as you've already discovered. The
entire ADF is fixed on top of the flatbed cover making the weight much
more than a typical flatbed cover. To offset that weight, the 2 hinges
should have large springs which should allow the flatbed to easily open
and close.

You don't want to attempt taking apart the hinges or even disassembling
the cover.. the hinges pack a powerful kick once removed from the
scanner's flatbed / frame. Normally, when you release the flatbed cover
lock, the adf/flatbed cover will barely lift off the surface of the
flatbed glass.

how old is the scanner?

is it under service contract ?

Hope this helps...

Danny
