MB Seq V4: Constantly lit LEDs [SOLVED]

My freshly finished MB Seq V4 with Wilba's standard CS is working nicely except that a few LED's are constantly lit.

 

Affected LED's are:

 

Track Group 3

Track 2
Track 4

Trigger Layer B

Parameter Layer B

Step View (fully lit) 

Solo

 

They are all a bit dimmed (except Step View) and they become fully lit when their button is activated. There is 2.27V going through these dimmed but lit LED's. 

 

I can't see any bad solder joints. The only clue I've come to is that all affected LED's are assigned to pin 1 of various SR's (shift registers?). Other normally working LED's are using different pins. I have no idea if this can be related somehow. Here is the excerpt from the config file.

 

##################################################
# LED assignments to DOUT pins
# SR = 0: LED disabled
# SR = 1..23:  directly forwarded to DOUT pin
# SR = M1..M8: forwarded to a 8x8 LED matrix

Any tips or suggestions are welcome. Thanks!

If there aren't any bad solder joints check that all the 74HC595 shift registers are seated correctly in there sockets and there aren't any bend pins that have failed to make contact, assuming that you are using IC sockets.

Thanks a lot!

 

And especially to smashtv who directed me via PM to the right place and gently pointed out the LED 31 holes being flipped. My LED was indeed flipped and putting it into right orientation did the trick. I completely missed that one during the final LED dropping stage. Now is all fine. Thanks again!
