A500 LED fix

thingiverse

I owned an A500 keyboard whose LEDs had malfunctioned and since replacements were unattainable, I came up with a small holder for 5x2mm rectangular LEDs. Mine are actually brighter than the originals and it works effectively. There was some light bleeding from the drive LEDs to the power LEDs which prompted me to cover them with copper tape as I didn't have any black or light-blocking tape available at that time. They are slightly too high but one can file them down to make them flush with the case. The fit is tight, so when removing the top case of the Amiga, caution must be taken.
