I'm using a Chinon FB-354 on my A2000 which works fine.

It is from an A500, I have added an A2000 Bezel and it looks OK but since its from an A500 it has no access LED.

Can it be added and what should I look for ?
 
take a good picture of the front of the drive without the bezel mate,and i'll tell you:)
 
I would say the solder pads are there at least! As for anything else missing... I have a chinon drive in bits here, will have a look if it will help :)
 
Behind the sensor switches (disk present and HD/DD sensor) you'll see two pads marked A (anode) and K (cathode). Solder the LED you want in there. :)

Original A2000 LED is yellow.
 
Searching for one is a *****. Tried "yellow led component" "floppy led" "disk drive led" etc.. etc..
