Hello,
I replaced my broken scanner glass with a standard glass cut from a store. The brand of my printer-scanner is HP Photosmart 5525.
First of all, a very thin, flexible plastic strip that I think was on the scanner reader came off, and I didn't put it back on, thinking it wouldn't matter. I'm not really sure what it was for, but it looks like the edge of a plastic sleeve for a binder..
Anyway, all of this is to say that the scanner doesn't seem to be reading anymore because the pages come out blank after a scan and a print.. If you could help me...
Thanks in advance.

I don't really see what you mean by a white bar, but it might be a bar used for calibrating the lamp before scanning a page... (if it were located at the top under the protection of the glass).
For the glass, replacing it with ordinary glass should work, but you won't have the "normal" color reproduction for the photos.. Ordinary glass has an internal color that is generally green, while "photo" glass is clear and free of chromatic aberration; it's a special glass.

In fact, it doesn't work with any image. I tested it without placing anything on the glass, and it produced a perfect copy of the glass and all its defects (fingerprints, etc.). I made a copy by only placing my hand, and the page came out black with all the defects, and just the shape of my hand in white, in the middle, not printed... In negative, so to speak. I don't understand why it's doing that...
If you have any other explanation...
Try to put it back in place... I really think it's for the calibration area...
