RE: [DTXpress] Bust rim switch on TP80S

The rubber covering is glued at about 8 places to the underside of the
plastic frame. Use a good sharp razor knife to carefully cut it apart at the
glued joints so that it can be glued back together. If the ribbon is
physically broken, it did not look like it could easily be fixed. And after
asking Yamaha for the price to replace the ribbon in the rim switches for
the TP65S ($150), it would be cheaper to replace the pad all together. I
would remove the plastic covering over the PCB/jack first and check to see
if anything is loose there, before I would remove the rubber covering.
