When it's so many rows it sounds like it is a board issue.
If you go to the menu Test->Switch Edges, with all the four cables disconnected from the bottom of the CPU board (J206/J207, J208/J209, J205 and J212.). Then no switch shall be affected. If J205 and J212 are connected, only switch 24 shall be closed in the switch matrix (See picture below how the matrix shall look like, with a square only on position 24.), if you have one or more whole rows/colums closed it's a problem on the CPU-board. U20 (and sometimes also U14) when it's columns. U18 if it's one or more of rows 1 to 4, and U19 row 5 to 8.
