Hi,
I had a quick look at the schematic. Buttons 8 and 9 share a common circuit on the positive side. This circuit is also shared with the reset button. Does your reset button work?
You could check continuity back to pin 8 of IC 702 (via a grey wire?) from the anode of the diode at one of those switches. Possibly there is a dirty connection somewhere. You could also look at R711 which is the pull up resistor for that circuit. There isn't really any other common components in that circuit.
Of course if your reset button does work then something else is up :-)
Cheers,
Jim
