Default Scanner problem

I have a two year old Epson V600 that gives me blue horizontal lines
when scanning slides.


Per Google, most of the hits say to thoroughly clean both surfaces,
reboot and let the device re-calibrate.


Tried that and it does not work.

There is absolutely no debris inside the scanner.

Anyone have any ideas?


Thanks

I have another scanner, Nikon Coolscan 4000

Blue lines are in exactly the same place so the problem is with the
slides themselves.

At least my Epson got a good cleaning

are they in glass holders?glass holders can do that (newton lines I
think they're called) if there's some light interference.better clean
them and try glassless holders, just for the scanning!mine have terrible
debris and dust, after sitting for almost 25 years in a closed slide tray.

They are not in glass holders.

The blue lines are fixable in Photoshop, my main worry is that my
scanner was defective
