Nikon's time for fixing USA models in the USA is about 10 years post production. There are specific parts which do show up online, you would need to buy the OEM part new THEN find a tech willing to do the surgery required. All is all, unless YOU are the tech, is not likely a doable project. Good luck
That is no longer the case. For instance, support for the various flavors of the D800 ended a few months ago when the policy changed. Now that the Z8 has been announced, I am expecting notice that support for my D810 is ending. The supported models in that "line" will be the Z8 (current model) and D850 (last previous model). The D850 dates back to 2018, so that's about 5 years (at least right now). When a Z8ii is introduced, I expect that official support for the D850 will be retired.
I was told that Canon will be doing the same thing, if they haven't already. Both are following the lead of Sony, based on the "success" they have been demonstrating in the marketplace. Sony's model has long been to favor selling a replacement to repairing existing equipment.
