If you recently purchased a
working
LS-5000, LS-4000, LS-2000, LS-50, LS-40 or LS-30
scanner, and have found that it performing poorly and needs to be serviced
,
or if you just need advice on installation please contact me.
Most Nikon Super Coolscan
LS-5000, LS-4000, LS-2000, and Coolscan LS-50, LS-40, and LS-30
scanners are 10+ years old.  Although they are built to
professional standards
, they can be expected to require maintenance at this age.  The original white Lithium grease lubricant on the scanning stage rails and the drive gears of the two stepper motors dries to the consistency of tar and accumulates dust.  This sticky amalgam often limits, slows, or prevents movement of the scanning stage and focusing mechanism.   Evaporated grease film and dust accumulation on the reflex mirror degrades the image.  But with proper servicing, poorly working scanners can be restored to as-new performance.
Thanks for reviewing my listing.  I have been selling and servicing Nikon scanners since 2003, and have overhauled hundreds of these great dedicated film scanners.   I clean and remove 100% of the old sticky Lithium grease lubricant and accumulated dust from
e
ach scanner I sell or service
.  I apply
only
modern dry lubricants that will
never
become sticky and will not collect dust or damage the scanner.  I
never
use Silicone, Lithium grease or any petroleum based lubricants which actually decompose and damage the Bakelite bearing surfaces of the scanning stage.
I clean the mirrors and the lens.  I also replace any mechanical parts showing excessive wear (subject to availability) at little or no cost.
Servicing these scanners properly
is a painstaking process and requires nearly full dis-assembly of the scanner.  There are no short-cuts.  I
guarantee performance
, and I back my work for 12 months.
Nikon
LS-5000, LS-4000, LS-2000, LS-50, LS-40 and LS-30
scanners are too good to use as paperweights.  These high resolution, professional quality dedicated film scanners are all capable of producing image quality suitable for glossy magazine publication.  With proper servicing, they still outperform by a mile,
any
film/slide scanner (new or used) available in the same price range.  Your 35mm negatives and slides are much too valuable not to preserve.   So let’s get that scanning project underway!   I’ll do my part.  Nikon charged over $300 to service these scanners.
Important
.  Your scanner need not be able to pass its power-on self-test.  But your scanner should be recognized by your computer’s operating system.  I cannot replace a faulty main circuit board, nor do I attempt electronic component replacement.   I
f I cannot repair your scanner, I will explain why and return it and your full payment promptly.  I do not charge a “diagnostic” fee, and return shipping is on me.
