Sign Posted July 4 Report Share Posted July 4 Hi, I’m just wondering how I can optimize the scanner sensitivity check on my LS-600 (see attached pictures). It performs very well, the graph is perfectly flat with shading but shows a slight bump in the middle on all colors without shading. Maybe a thorough cleaning might help? Thanks in advance for your advices! BR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave S Posted July 4 Report Share Posted July 4 As the dip appears to be going through all of the colours to some degree, I’d say cleaning of the light source top lens should help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kodak_service Posted July 4 Report Share Posted July 4 It's dirt on the LED-unit or on the scanner glass above the film advance section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sign Posted July 4 Author Report Share Posted July 4 Thanks for your feedback. Highly appreciated! I’ve cleaned both, at least as much as I could, but my feeling is what I did was kind of basic. Any tip maybe or special recommendation to do it perfectly without risking to damage the scanner? Again many thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave S Posted July 4 Report Share Posted July 4 To clean the lens of the LED properly, you need to lift up the film carrier unit. Here is a diagram of the screws you need to remove to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minilab service Posted July 4 Report Share Posted July 4 Or remove light unit from scanner bottom and clean it. I think it is more easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sign Posted July 4 Author Report Share Posted July 4 That works. Great! Other topic: is there any safe way to clean the rubber rollers that move the film (not the white ones in the middle, but the yellow on the sides)? Mine are a bit greasy, which is quite strange… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sign Posted July 4 Author Report Share Posted July 4 That results in 2 lines on each side of the film, along the film advance holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sign Posted July 4 Author Report Share Posted July 4 I tried to clean with 2 cleaning leaders (maybe a bit old, not too sticky anymore). Here is the result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minilab service Posted July 4 Report Share Posted July 4 If rollers original then all of them should be dark yellow ( or light brown ) . I think your rollers are old, soft and sticky. Cleaning will not help. Only one solution - to change rollers. Can use original rollers from Noritsu, or not original rings ( made in China ) . I have LS-600/LS-1100 film carrier. There can change rollers ( original, or not original ) . Then could change your film carrier with my film carrier. If interested write private message.
