I'm not familiare with the PB 165 and this is going to sound obvious, but did
you reseat the ribbon cable in the connector and try again?
The only thing that may be wrong when there is a close grouping of bad keys
is that one line on the ribbon cable is not making a connection.
This has happended to be while rebuilding a PB5300.
