Interesting replies. I hope you find your manual. Keep in mind that there is very little understanding or support here for the "project" aspect of photography. Several years ago, I successfully refurbished a Nikon D300 after being told here that it was impossible and a stupid idea. (I did require a little help at the end.) I am in the process of doing the same to a D500, although it didn't need nearly as much work.
If it works, it was fun and rewarding. If not, it was fun trying. The main thing is to have a good system for keeping track of parts as you remove them. You may also want to try to find a non-working "sacrificial body" for extra parts and to try things you may have to do that are less straightforward.
