<title><![CDATA[Brother ADS-2700W: Gray zone on one side of Scan]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I have an ADF scanner that failed to scan documents, from one day to the next.</p>

<p>On one side (the front side), a zone is completely dark gray, about 5cm wide:</p>

<div class="imageBox imageBox_left"><img src="https://guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com/igi/WgvZF4HMIAU4UI1D.standard" width="143" height="225" class="hasMenu hasLarge" alt="Block Image" onclick="window.open(&quot;https:\/\/guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com\/igi\/WgvZF4HMIAU4UI1D.huge&quot;, '', 'width=760,height=1200')" /></div>

<p>The reverse side is okay:</p>

<div class="imageBox imageBox_left"><img src="https://guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com/igi/UpuWZLDPAvkdZGZC.standard" width="146" height="225" class="hasMenu hasLarge" alt="Block Image" onclick="window.open(&quot;https:\/\/guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com\/igi\/UpuWZLDPAvkdZGZC.huge&quot;, '', 'width=776,height=1200')" /></div>

<p>Do you have experience with this kind of device? I haven't disassembled the scanner yet. Viewing some videos, I carefully cleaned the sensor's glass with a paper towel and isopropyl alcohol, with no luck: nothing changed. I suppose the gray zone is too wide to be caused by a dirty glass.</p>

<p>Thank you in advance for your help!</p>
