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 ?

You need to use something like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/LITEON-LTL3...491?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4ac60258db so that it fits through the slit on the front of the floppy bezel.
