tech - replacement soundcard for clavinova?

[potion]

hi,

I have a 12+year old clavinova cvp85a whose soundcard has gone bonkers. The sound patches give weird buzzing noises, alternating tones and speakers work only on 1 side. Same output from headphones.

So I dug out my old Roland SC sound module, connected midi and audio, and now it works like a digital piano once again, in stereo.

So I have an idea, can I switch the clavinova internal sound card to a more-current one? I read the current models have better quality piano sounds. I don't need any of the recording or accompaniment functions - just need a nice-sounding digital piano. Anyone knows if this is possible, and someone who can do it?

Although I can live with the current setup, the antique roland piano patch is not exactly the most natural-sounding, so it'll be nice if I can upgrade it. Also, the clavinova was one of the top end models when first launched and cost about 8k (it was a hand-me-down), plus the speakers give really nice sound, so it's really wasted to have to junk it.

hihi,actualyl i can relate.I had a CVP-50 i think,last time and almost the same problem.when select some patch it makes very wierd noise,machiam fireworks;so called yamaha to repair it but sadly,they quote nearly $1000(!!!!!!) so sold it off and buy a piano instead since my interest more to classical and pop side.however the technician got say parts run out liao,maybe they dun produce anymore,plus new one will not fit-diff slot size.
