A few weeks ago, a few people played my Electro 4 HP at a jazz jam (doesn't happen that often, but I trusted them). At the end of the jam, I noticed one of the keys was lower than the others, and didn't feel weighted. Furthermore, when I picked up the board, I heard something rattling around inside, which I figured was some part of the action. So I opened it up and found the errant part - a counterweight that went with the key. I noticed some of the other keys had cracked casings on their counterweights as well. I figure that I'm the one to blame - I've had this keyboard since 2014, and although I treat it pretty well on gigs, I have left it in the car on many cold nights. I figure the plastic was fatigued by big changes in temperature.

Having one key a little lower than the others hasn't bothered me too much -- it still responds pretty well -- however, I need to fix it. Does anyone have any glue recommendations, or should any strong glue work? If other counterweights break, I might have to buy a new keybed assembly.

Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Here is an album of photos of what I found:
