Hi there, Usually the LED's are controlled from a central IC / 
controller board. However, it could be something as simple as a loose 
connector or wire loom. Try checking inside the machine before you buy 
(if permitted)as one may have worked loose through the years, it may 
not have been pushed down properly when originally assembled. Better 
still, if you know someone with an electronics background, let them 
check or get a service manual which are available on the internet.

It could also be something more sinister such as a failed component(s) 
or has been tampered with by a previous owner. If it still works fine 
without them then it may be worth buying but for a cheap price. 
Remember, Casio don't keep replacement parts for these machines and 
custom chips will be almost impossible to replace. The choice is yours. 
Best of luck!!! MIDCOMSYS...
