david_simon Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Some how the battery compartment cover on my D500 has gone missing. I have sent an email to Nikon Canada asking if they have one and how much, but fear that if they do it will cost a fortune. Anyone know where I can find one ? There are several advertised on ebay but most are form China and the pictures don't match the actual cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chulster Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 How about these ones found on AliExpress. Do they match?

Don't let that bother you overmuch. Do be warned, however, that shipments from China are significantly delayed these days. I have a lens part on order from AliExpress myself. It hasn't shipped yet.

ShunCheung Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Same thing happened to the battery compartment door on a D810 I was using back in 2015. I went hiking and it was gone by the end of the day. The D810 uses the same door part as the D800/D800E. I bought one (actually two) from Nikon USA. It was like US$4 to 5 each at the time, similar to what CPM shows above. I almost ended up paying more for shipping. Getting parts maybe a bit difficult/delayed during this COVID-19 period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_hutcherson Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 As a general rule, it's often worthwhile to check Nikon's site for user replaceable parts like this. Quite a bit is available, and it's generally reasonable in price. I replaced several pieces of rubber on my Df, for example, and it was around $30 including shipping.

Michael R Freeman Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 From Nikon USA : D500 BATTERY COVER UNIT from Nikon OP is in Canada. Nikon USA will not ship parts to Canada. The Nikon Store can only deliver to postal street addresses in the 50 United States and District of Columbia. If Nikon Canada offers an online parts store, I can't find it. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDMvW Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 just an observation that sooner or later this will be something where 3-D printers will fill the bill. The problem now is getting a template for the item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent Peri Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 If Nikon Canada offers an online parts store, I can't find it. :( I found this: https://www.nikonimgsupport.com/ni/NI_article?articleNo=000004325&configured=1&lang=en_CA It may be too old and not working anymore.

Anyway it shows a price of 5 to 6 US $, so a shop in Canada should also be able to help you out i guess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
