Switch rows 5 and 6 never register. Replacing the LM339 row receiver (U19) and the 74LS240 (U13) on the CPU board made no difference; the column drives are fine.

Two switch matrix rows dead after replacing the chips: broken traces from U19

Cause: Traces from U19 were broken, even though there was no visible corrosion.

Checks

  • With a logic probe and a board diagram, follow the row signals from the connector through U19 to U13 and find where they stop.

Fix

  • Repair the broken traces with jumper wires.
