From: Phil Preen on 10 May 2010 12:55 Epson Perfection 1250 has stopped working. I think the fluourecent bulb has gone. Is it worth trying to get a replacement. Any idea where I might find a supplier in the UK? TIA Phil.

From: Barry Watzman on 10 May 2010 18:26 I would guess that the inverter is a more likely culprit than the lamp itself, although either is possible. In the US, Digikey, Mouser and some others carry CCFL lamps. For a scanner, the exact light spectrum is more important than it is for an LCD backlight, the purpose for which most generic lamps are sold. I recall that Epson does not sell parts for it's scanners, although some "accessory parts" are available from a distributor here in the US, I think it was compass micro.

Just says w2 on the tube near one end.

I took a look at compassmicro. Very few parts appear to be avialable, and the lamp doesn't even seem to appear as a separate item on the exploded diagram http://www.compassmicro.com/files/Perfection%201250.pdf |
