Thank you Mark, 
I did not think that the midi map that I sent you was bad either.
Out of curiosity, I went through the test and it tested OK, lights moved around etc.
(BTW it is a great program, just like the rest of BC Manager).

One thing I discovered was that when I push on the "defective" button, the button will flicker on/off and will continue to switch on/off the buttons that it switches. It does not stop flickering.
 "Healthy" button will switch on (or off) and show template and that's it.

I guess it is time to look for a new one...

Thank you for your support, Karel

I've looked at the file in BC Manager:
I can't see anything wrong: all the buttons and encoders define different Control Change messages (i.e. different channel and/or controller); this goes for both preset 0 and preset 9.

I've uploaded the whole file to my own BCR2000, and I can't see any buttons triggering other buttons. (Well, maybe I could see "ghost" LEDS in a darkened room, but that's not what you're experiencing, apparently...)

So I'm starting to think that your BCR does have a hardware problem.
It's either a VERY bad case of the "familiar" problem with ghost LEDs, or something more serious.

Just an idea: you might try BC Manager's "Test hardware" mode (from the B-Controls window: MIDI -> Maintenance): while the BCR is in this mode, pressing any button should switch all the other buttons on or off too; I'm not sure what happens in your case.

Mark.
