I had four LED's go out on my Volca Beats as well (9-12). It happened when I had taken apart the Volca Beats to perform the "snare fix". I was using some pliers to disconnect the ribbon that connects the two circuit boards when the pliers slipped and broke one of the top wires. It seems the only thing that was affected were the aforementioned four LED lights. Maybe your ribbon is not seated/connected very well?
Did you buy yours used? Perhaps the previous owner made the same mistake I did... |

| I was wrong about my wire connector theory. This is apparently a known issue and is caused by a transistor becoming loose. You can attempt the repair yourself by resoldering a component marked DT317. Look for the label "White Noise" and trace down from there and you are near it. Worked like a charm for me. |
