It sounds like you have a need for a warranty repair, to adjust/replace the focus module. I have found NikonUSA  warranty repair service quite responsive, and friendly. If you call them at 1-800-645-6678 (Customer service) or 6689 (tech support) they will immediately send out a repair authorization form, authorizing you to send it in for the necessary work (include a print of the problem scan) at their expense.
If Mikael is not in USA, I can only hope the country where he bought it is as cooperative as I have found NikonUSA.

They have somebody in 'quality control' supposedly go over the repairs before they are shipped out. I have found that to be their weak link, as the first time I sent my LS-30 in for an intermittent banding problem, it also had a focus problem. I got approval for a priority return shipping at their expense, and their return invoice stated they had replaced the focus motor... Anyway, it worked fine when I got it back the 2nd time, except the intermittent banding problem later returned. That time, they sent me a 'new' replacement scanner.

Maybe I'm not looking at the images correctly but the _entire_ Nikon 4000
frame looks out of focus. Is this a fair test - to compare an out-of-focus
Nikon scan to an in-focus Canon scan?
