Need instructions on how to dis-assemble cover to replace caller ID glass lens. After taking out the six screws it still won't come apart. I have the replacement lens as well.

Make sure copier is unplugged. You need to remove the glass by removing the left side panel. Remove the two screws and remove the panel. Remove the glass. You should see a ribbon cable on its side with a black cover. Remove the cover. It provides access to the hole you should see. Slide the top to the left and remove the drum unit. While the blue top is up, remove the screw that holds the control panel secure. Lower the blue cover and remove the control panel. Be careful of the ribbon and unplug it. You should now see the access hole to get to the screws that secure the fuser assembly. Remove 2 left side covers by removing the three screws. The one screw you see at the front I remove to make it easier to remove the cover that has edges below that cover. Then remove the cover that is above the delivery area. Turn back the milar sheet and unplug the three connectors that are routed to the fuser. Remove the three screws and carefully remove the fuser assembly. Carefully reverse the procedure for the replacement fuser or rebuild the fuser assy by taking the fuser assembly apart. I hope this is enough to get you started in the right direction.

You cannot replace the lens assembly. This must be done by a Sony repair service center. You cannot "polish" the lens without completely ruining it. Replacement is going to be expensive. Get an estimate and then decide if it's worth it.

I have just had exactly the same thing on my daughter's NV3. In this case the lens cover would not open but if you power on the camera with you finger on the display button you can view stored images. If the lens cover is jammed you need to open the casing and maybe take the lens cover assembly apart. You need a very small cross head screwdriver (No.00 should be OK). There are 5 screws in total, 4 screws on the outside of the case (3 plus1 under the headphone socket cap) and 1 inside the battery compartment. You need to remove all 5 to remove the camera front casing. There are some retaining springs top and bottom on the front cover, gently prize off to reveal the lens cover assembly. Check to see if the lens cover will operate by switching on and off - if it works then the camera front casing is preventing it from opening and is probably bent out of shape. A little careful bending back into shape should resolve the problem. If it still does not work with the casing removed, read on. This is the tricky part. There are two extremely small, black retaining screws to the left hand side which hold the assembly onto the lens cover motor. Remove these screws and the front of the lens cover assembly to reveal the lens cover and the back plate of the assembly. Lift off the lens cover and switch on the camera. If the motor is still working, you will see a short black peg move from side to side as you turn the camera on and off. Thoroughly clean the lens cover and assembly, remove any obstruction and replace the lens cover making sure you locate the hole in the lens cover over the motor peg (described above).
The motor is magnetic and will attract the screws away from their holes if you replace the assembly front straight away, so when you replace the front of the lens cover assembly, place the screws in the correct holes before lowering it into place and then screw onto the motor/assembly back. Test that the lens cover opens and closes and replace the Camera front cover taking care not to bend it too much - if this becomes distorted it can stop the lens cover from operating resulting in the same problem.

AROUND THE COVER THERE IS A CARBON BUILD UP CLEAN WITH OVEN CLEANER AND YOU SHOULD SEE THE SMALL SCREW HOLDING THE COVER IN REMOVE IT AND GENTLY PRISE IT OFF ..

http://www.cellulardr.com/GH98-08364A.htm It's $36 but less than the deductable for a replacement phone.

the rope type seal merely is friction pressed against the inner glass and the inner panel, no real fasteners other then that,the fact that you got stains inbetweeen glass not neccessarliy a sign ofbad seal, it happpens, in order to replace the gasket, youll need to completly dis-assemble th oven door , as you do you can clean the glass panes as you go

It is very easy to fix. Just Be Very Careful when doing the following Repair.

You will need the Following a Size 0 Screw Driver, and a Small Eye Glass Flat Head Screw driver.

1. remove the 4 Screws holding the side panels. (Make sure you do not mix these screws with the ones on step 2) as these screws are shorter.
2. Remove the 6 Screws on the bottom of the camera
3. Now carefully pull apart from the bottom up. You will see 2 more screws on the left side but do not remove them.
4. Seperate the Front faceplate carefully around the Lens assembly.
5. while keeping the Camera with the lens Facing Strate Up, remove the Two Screws on the right side of the Lens, but keep caution not to move the camera while the screws are out of place.
6. remove the Cover to the Lens Gears.
7. Now this is very important!!!!, Take the Small Eyeglass Flat head Screw Driver and Pry the Gear To the Left, not the one by the motor. you do not have to take the gear off, however just enough to allow you to Move the Lens Assembly manualy.
8. Turn the Lower half of the Lens assembly carefully until the Lens is compleatly In and lens protector flaps Shut.
9. Put the Gear back on.
10. put the Gear Cover back on and Screw the Two screws back in. Make sure they are Firmly tightened
11. Put the Front Face Plate back on by putting on the top first, then closeing the bottom.
12. make sure the side pannel with the Wrist Strap is in Correctly before screwing it in.
13. Place the Side Pannels back on and Screw them in.
14. Screw the 6 Bottom Screws back in.

Now put the Battery Back in and test it out. This should fix the error you were having. i just perfomed this on my camera 15 min before i Wrote these instructions it worked! Step 15 get back to taking great shots!

You need to go farther than the lens glass. The dust is actually on the photo board itself. I'm assuming that the problem is on the bottom scanning side. You will need to dis assemble the scanner to remove the scanning unit. This can be done by remove the back, the sides, and the two front pieces. Once inside remove the silver metal cover over the rollers. This will help you get the actually scanning equipment out. Remove the black scanning unit behind the silver metal cover.

Make sure to ground yourself before continuing or you could short the boards.
Under the lens glass there are three boards. Two are visible. One is white, long and skinny. On the backside one is green. The one you need to get to is hidden between the black piece, and silver metal piece. There should be 6 screws that you will need to remove first.
Very gently pry the plastic from the metal. The problem that you are looking for is there.
Wipe the photo cells with an alcohol swab, and you should be good to go.

Take the door off.
Lay it on a flat surface-front down.
Remove six screws- 2 holding handle and 4 a bottom.
Carefully remove top part door assembly from front cover.
Clean glass.
Reverse the process to reassemble.

One note on this fix. There are four screws that need to be tightened on the lens. With the cover off and the lens pointing straight forward, there are three small screws visible. After tightening them, rotate the lens upward to expose the fourth screww. After that one is tightened, you can then replace the cover and six cover screws.
