Subject: Master Keyboard t/shooting

Hi all - Got my hands on my first BBC Master (shipped from the UK to Aus).
However, seems like the keyboard is DOA.

The I, J, N, U and M keys are not working at all (and I suspect one of the
F keys is dead as well). 

I've stripped the keys off, air-brushed the dust-bunnies out, and hosed the
whole keyboard and switches with good quality contact cleaner. This got a
few sticky keys working properly, but not the 5/6 non-reactive ones.

Seeing this grouping is too close to be coincidence, could this mean a dead
line/track on the board? Any suggestions on how to locate it (preferably
easy suggestions :-)

Or is it just not worth the hassle, and I'm better off sourcing another keyboard
(difficult - rare as hens teeth in Australia).

(btw - battery pack replaced, but I can't config the unit just yet until
I can type the correct CONFIG commands!)

Thanks.
