Welcome to Nikonians!
Given the age and value of the D80, it might be cheaper to replace it then repair it.
You could try any of the the Nikon Authorized Service Stations.
Most will give you a guesstimate of the cost of the repair over the phone.
That way you can make an informed decision.

Do old broken Nikons become paperweights?
(Not that they aren't already considering the cost on eBay, although too many eBay offerings are dirty, seem like they've been abused and are in ragged condition.)Visit my Nikonians gallery.

Tue 03-Mar-20 10:03 PMHi Scot,
Sadly once the supply of replacement parts is exhausted or Nikon Service stops supporting a camera body or lens the options are very limited.
Either find an Independent Shop that has the parts, buy a "parts" body or lens, or replace the gear.Best Regards,
Marty

Tue 24-Mar-20 08:31 AMI've heard a number of reports that many repair shops still have a pretty good inventory of normal parts - especially for DSLR cameras. They may not have parts for all repairs, but most repairs can still be handled.
As far as a D80 is concerned, a replacement camera is available at KEH. A repair is not practical since repairs would likely start at $250 for most cameras. You can buy an EX copy for $75, or a Bargain model for $59. They also might take a trade of the older camera for a small credit.

While you are looking, there are some great deals on camera upgrades. Take a look at the D90 or D300 at KEH. Both are much better than the D80.Eric Bowles

I know Nikon no longer supports the D80 but are there any independents who still fix these things? I live in Calgary, Alberta and would like to find someone local but would consider sending it away if I have to.
Thanks,
Dave.
