Hi Annie,
Please ignore my or anyone else's reference to a screw. You do not need to
unscrew anything. Hold the holder in your hand with the cable away from you.
The little square switch should be underneath.
Use your thunb, placed on the top side at the end nearest you and press
slightly.
Then slide your thumb together with the top surface of the box, toward you.
It will slide right off. It doesn't require a lot of pressing, it is only a
matter of pressing on the right surface and at the right end.
I also couldn't get mine to open and had to be shown. Once done, it was
easy peasy!
However, I have to stress that I don't think this will be the answer to
your problems. If you are not sure if it is a matte of supply as apposed to the
connection, try it with the mains adaptor. If you can't see the light, leave it
on for a while, the lights will get warm and you will be able to feel it.
The weakness is at the joint twixt the lights and the cable. There are two
delicate wires and it is these that begin by slightly disconnecting, giving an
intermittent supply of electricity, and which, finally, as with mine, come
adrift entirely! I think that this connection should be made solid by, in some
way, fixing the top of the cable to the box, so that there can be no play of
movement at that weak point. I am going to try and find a way to reconnect mine
and glue the cable to the lid, but will need the good intentions of my partner
to do this. If it works, I will send to the list how to do it and, perhaps, if
people have access to people with enough skill, they can get theirs
strengthened before they break.
This is a pity, but I have faith in the StandScan Pro people and, in
particular, Harry, to get to grips with this one.
Keep smiling, Sandy.
