There ARE a couple of reasons ant "
keyboard" could
fail in "
OCTETS" (as you stated "
eight" keys)...
Generally ...
all DIGITAL communications is done in
BINARY...
The most ADVANCED computer in the world can
only count to "
ONE"...
Conveniently... BINARY is best represented to the
human (raw) interface in either "OCTAL"
or "HEXIDECIMAL"... (either in "bus" connections
or LOGIC (chip) interfaces to those "BUSSES")...!!
So if you want to start looking for .
your trouble... first try to remember where/when
that
drink (cocoa, tea, coffee or ... soda) got poured
on the KEYBOARD...
LOOK there
FIRST.
Be SURE TO WEAR an
ANTI-STATIC wrist band...
ELSE... You will be creating more trouble a you
(mis-)handle highly sensitive semi-conductors...
Hope this helps
