Re: The known defect in Yamaha P-200 P-80 keyboard action

this may not be a good place to ask this question about a digital piano action -- unfortunately, the hard-core gear forums seem to require a "non-free" e-mail account to register, so i can't post at those.

my little yamaha p-80 digital has the same problem i've heard that users of the p-200 have. apparently, the e and d notes of the upper registers develop a hairline fracture at the base of the key, and begin to tilt to the left or the right, rendering these keys sticky.

has anyone successfully replaced a key on their keyboard with a similar problem themselves? any details on the part number(s) i'd need to order and/or from whom? i've already dissassembled the keyboard months ago, but the action is inscrutable -- i only assume the problem is with the problem keys themselves (d and e 8va above middle d and e; e 32va above middle e).

thanks for any links to discussions or quick words of advice.
