Today we will analyze this interesting repair we just did:
The Replacement of the top cover and LCD screen on a Nikon D500.
The Problem
One of our clients, during a photographic trip, was shooting with his Nikon D500 on his tripod.
That day was windy and our client was lost in his thoughts for a moment and the irreparable happened, unfortunately the tripod lost his balance.
Camera and tripod on the ground.
Thankfully the Nikon D500 is a very solid camera and has only reported an extensive break at the point of impact.
The shell was damaged in the attachment point of the shoulder strap and the upper glass and the LCD broke. The rest of the camera was fortunately saved.
The Fixing
The damage on this Nikon D500 was too depth , so it was impossible to repair the damaged shell, but we had to completely replace it with an original Nikon part.
In addition to replacing the cover, we also had to replace the LCD display and glass.
We have also replaced all the communication flats between the LCD and the top cover controls and the camera.
Fortunately, the Nikon D500 does not have the Flash Pop-Up on the top shell otherwise it would probably have been damaged too and we would have had to replace it.
The Result
And here is the final result upon delivery. Gabriele’s Nikon D500 is as good as new again. We have completely restored the functionality of the damaged component and tested all other components to verify full compliance with factory specifications. We also cleaned the sensor.
