EPSON Perfection V370 Photo scanner not working

Help Wanted

I recently got my first second hand EPSON V370 on eBay for 60 bucks and when I tried to scan my 35mm color negative film I stumbled upon these static looking lines as you can see on the images attached. I tried unscrewing the hinges from the lid and cleaned both sides of the glass panel bed and also cleaned very carefully the sensor band 4 times total thinking that was the problem. I already filed for a refund but thought to myself that maybe I still could find a solution here. Any guesses? I'm currently on the hunt for a Plustek 8100 or 8200i since I did my research and found out that they're pretty reliable when it comes to 35mm format.
