I did find the N75 service manual (it is $1.00 at the Learn Camera Repair site) and it is amazing. It has detailed COLOR photographs of the disassembly process. Though one still needs to get access to the computer program for the diagnostics.
I wonder if the same kind of manual is available for N80/F80 and if the program you mentioned in your post, is available at any price at all.

As for the lenses, I was considering to get 28-80, 28-70, 28-200, all of which were dropped down after I got my hands on 28-105. This lens does pretty much everything I need, except for telephoto use.
repair shops will likely lose access to Nikon’s proprietary calibration software. Such software is used to verify and adjust the focus mechanisms and sensors on cameras. More than one authorized shop owner said this software is provided on an encrypted hard drive by Nikon, and the apps regularly check in with Nikon over the web to validate the owner’s authorized status.

I took mine to a car show today , had this camera loaded with film. This is the most frustrating camera i ever dealt with. Sometimes the camera would nail the focus on the first go but most of the time i had to keep trying to get it to focus on my subject for a bout a min or so for each photo. I gave up after about 7 shots
I really wanted to like it. Im not gonna give up on it , maybe its me, maybe its the lens idk. It was kinda disappointing to put it back in my bag. Plus side is i had my F2’s with me.

An actual annoyance is that depending on how one carries the camera in the back, it's easy for the focusing switch to move from AF-S to AF-C. More than once I have been confused why the camera did not lock focus and this was a reason.I took mine to a car show today , had this camera loaded with film.

A DX series Nikkor is designed for reduced sensor size digital cameras, it will not cover the full frame of a 35mm film camera. That may be part of the problem, it's an incompatible lens!Sorry for the late reply everyone . Here is the lens i have on the camera . Nikon DX AF- NIKKOR 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6
Whats a decent lens to pick up? That makes alot of sense now . I thought any old af lens would workA DX series Nikkor is designed for reduced sensor size digital cameras, it will not cover the full frame of a 35mm film camera. That may be part of the problem, it's an incompatible lens!
The camera arrived in good condition in the original box.
As is the case with many cameras, it was sold as ‘non-functional’
Initially the mirror was up and the screen showed ‘Err’
With fresh batteries, all is well!
It came with the original sales receipt of about $500, warranty card and a cool foldout showing the ‘N80 System’
