Yeah, I did the un-doable and dropped my camera, not onto a great height and on to carpet, but the memory card door was open so it's snapped off.
Now I've rang up Nikon and they've told me it'll be £30 alone for the quote to get it fixed, even though it is under warranty.
So, the only place I've found to buy the memory card door cover is ebay, and it's only from America, at about £20 GBP.
Is it worth trying to do it myself? It says it's easy enough, but I'm not sure, anyone have any experience with this?
They just don't build them like they used to...well the Nikon D3 is still tough as nails, but sadly not the entry level cameras.
That said I've done worse than you, so don't worry. Card doors are usually plastic with metal mechanicals. As long as it's only the plastic part that is broken, it's an easy repair, but if you've bent metalwork, or part of the camera casing then it's going to get both expensive and more specialised.
