Digital, Pedal Repair?

[shingo]

This post is horribly ironic in relation to my other one discussing dynamics.... My pedal broke  . I think the spring (if there is one) has gone, at least that is what it sounded like. It was much looser than the other 2 due to the amount of use it gets so over time I think it must have become weakened, it was barely compressed when it gave in, it's not like it was even a satisfactory break.
     My question is this, how much does this type of thing cost to repair considering it is a Casio (AP-40)? Or how much should it cost so I know what kind of pricing to expect or look out for?
      Thanks for any answers.

I think you can buy a plug-in pedal. Maybe $30?  Dunno.

If you could figure out a way place a new pedal in your console, it would be less than $30.
 It's probably just an on/off switch type.

If the pedal is "hard-wired" into the chasis you could also splice the new pedal cable into the old cable. Your biggest problem seems mechanical: figure out a way place a new pedal in your console.

Did you check Casio for matching replacement parts?

Update for any of those who have a similar problem in the future:

     It was a broken spring as suspected, all that was required was a replacement to be fitted so I just took the spring out of the sostenuto pedal for the time being and put it in the damper. Now I only have 2 pedals but my damper is great with a nice 'new' stiffness to it. Will phone Casio and arrange for a replacement spring to be sent out then I can have the sostenuto back in action.
     Bear in mind that I wouldn't reccomend doing this if you are unsure about breaking the warrenty terms and conditions etc. Mine had run out so I thought I may as well look first to see if I do not need  a technician to come out.
