  Oh yes. I've been busy moving house as well, so things have gone a little
  slowly.

  I'll tell you how I pulled mine apart, assuming the hardware is fairly
  similar.

  Most of the scanner unit is one piece of moulded plastic, with the lid
  attached by some method I've yet to figure out (but this doesn't matter).
  Firstly, prise the two plastic strips off which run the length of the
  glass on either side of the scanner. It helps if you haven't just trimmed
  your nails off. These strips are glued on and take a few minutes to work
  off but I removed them without damaging them. Both ends have tabs that are
  located in slots in the main scanner unit: the strips are quite
  flexibile and should come out of the front slots as you prise them off the
  glass; you can only take them out of the rear slots by lifting the strips
  up in the same manner as the lid and pulling them gently towards the front
  of the scanner.

  Lay the plastic strips aside and carefully slide the glass towards the
  front of the scanner until the other edge emerges from the hole near the
  where the lid is attached. You should now be able to remove the glass,
  taking care not to damage the scan head (it's probably a good idea to use
  the locking switch underneath the scanner before you start).

  Now you have access to the inside of the scanner you can remove the screws
  which secure the EM shield above the PCB and note down IC numbers/take
  photographs/compare to my ASCII art diagram.

  To reassemble, perform the reverse procedure but be sure to: (i) clean the
  *inside* of the glass and the EM shield of fingerprints/grease before
  reinstalling the glasss! (ii) Line up the glass by matching the glue marks
  with the glue marks on the plastic strips. There should still be plenty of
  glue left to secure the glass without noticing any difference.

  HTH
