If the white strip is attached to the scanner lid 
(rather than the glass itself) then I guess I don't 
understand with or agree with Phil's statement 
above.

This is the case for the low-end flatbed scanners 
that I've had apart.

If the white strip is attached to the glass, then 
there may still be some klugey options...

1. If the old white strip is self-adhesive, it might be possible 
to transfer it to the new glass, but it would have to be located 
precisely on the new sheet, and without smudging the 
white strip.

2. Maybe find a piece of very white tape, or some 
other very white, very uniform sheet which could 
substitute for the old white strip.  Again, it would 
have to be located very carefully.


Remember that Charlie said this wasn't a high-end 
scanner.
