yes, very frustrating...
My polysix has similarly #6, D and write on all the time and it has new IC 30 and 31...I cant figure where the continuity happens unless, as i have heard , The pc board itself has conductivity from the battery leakage..? I found that scraping the traces away didnt solve the constantly on LED problems. There seems to just be ' stray continuity ' so these switches are always on. I havent solved this problem yet. I wish i had info on what each pin of IC 30 and 31 did. and which connected to which letter/number LED's.

Urrrrrgggggg !
This is driving me nutz !
The chorus/Sub problem probably was related with bad contact of the
panel connectors. This is OK now, but when I checked the instrument
again, if worked well for a few minute, and just than started to make
some noise as tweaking the knobs, and the programs section now
sometimes doesn't let you get banks B, 2 and 6, and will lite up the
Manual button led when pushing the "Write" button.
I can see on the schematics that the Write, B, 2 and 6 buttons are
all connected to IC30 eventually, but it was already replaced, and
has no bad traces going from it.
