SB800 repair

Does anyone know how hard it would be to replace the red IR focusing screen on the front?

Also, where would be the best place to get a new screen?

I dont know if you could get one from anywhere but Nikon. It shouldnt be too hard to get it, though. Replacing it can be tough, but there are some tutorials online.

Thanks! This looks like a trustworthy site to order from. The thing is, I borrowed this flash and it was in the padded case when it was knocked off the table. It fell about 2 1/2 feet onto a hard floor. Luckily the lower left corner of the screen was damaged with only a small portion knocked out. It still works but alas, it's my responsibility to have it fixed or do it myself. I'm a bit nervous about tearing into this flash and possibly creating more damage. I think I can do it though.
