Here's a video that may help. I changed the screen on my D40 like this. But use plastic tools, not metal, to reduce risk of scratching the screen.

PS - it will void the warranty if Nikon finds out you did this.

HA! That's priceless when he puts at the end "hmmm... some this screen seems to be out of best position ;P" A $400 D40 should be sent to Nikon to be repaired. May cost half of what it is worth but at least it would be right. I think they charge somewhere around $75-100 to just clean one.

well... i did what everyone told me not to... i got out the focusing screen and the copper separator and cleaned the screen with a diswasher soap and water... thankfully it went well and all the specs are gone!!!

Just needed a bit of luck since there is no nikon service where i Live... so... im all by myself

Well done! It's scary to think of doing it, but if you take care it's not that hard.
