Hi, I do not think it is possible as Celestron matches the corrector plate to the mirrors.

Send it back to Celestron for repairs...

It will cost you the same as buying a second hand C5

I still have with me an old 6-inch SCT with a broken corrector plate which I have kept for 10 years already! Haha! But I don't think it is worth the while to get it fixed.

But anyway here's a suggestion for you: try advertising on Astromart for a C5 corrector plate, maybe you may get lucky! :)
