It sounds like your camera's CPU is stuck in a loop. First, I'd remove and transfer any pictures on the SD card in a card reader connected to your computer, followed by formatting the card. Leave the SD card out of the D80. Set the power switch on the D80 to "off" and install a freshly charged battery. If it is still flashing, a "Full Reset" may help.
Nikon recommends that a full reset be done only under direction of Nikon staff. The procedure is outlined along with graphics on this page under "Full reset". I suggest calling Nikon support to see if they think this procedure (or maybe another that they have) will solve the problem.
With a formatted card installed in the camera, press the MENU button, select the Playback menu (right-pointing triangle), then select the "Copy" command.Full details are in the "Copy" subsection of the "Playback Options: The Playback Menu" section of the manual (page 134 in my copy). If you need a manual, you may download a copy here.
Please remove the SD card from the camera. Connect the SD card to the computer using the external memory card reader and then transfer all the images in the computer or laptop. Then try to open all the images.
If you are using a 4GB or higher SD card, some computers cannot read it directly from their in-built SD reader. Buy an external card reader and plug it in. Your computer should now be able to read cards 4GB and larger
You can either use an SD card reader, or open the rubber flap on the side of the camera and use the supplied USB wire. Your computer will be able to recognize the camera and display your photos, from there you can copy them to your computer.
