If it's just the LED itself which is damaged, you can get a replacement from an old A500 or A1200 which I'm pretty sure use the same size and package.
Failing that try an electronics parts supplier such as DigiKey, Maplins, Radio Shack, Farnell, Dick Smith, Radio Spares, etc. They're an uncommon size these days, but should still be available.

Of course you can repair the LED unless the plastic body is damaged. Just solder new legs on if need be. You can cut leads off a resistor or something to form replacement legs for the LED. Pay attention to polarity, being a diode, they're a polarised device.

I don't think anyone sells the A3000 PCB by itself. Someone might have an old one if you ask on Amibench.

It's not cheap but a bit of time ago I've found several A3000's spare parts HERE.
You could check if leds PCBs are available.
However, I've never bought there so I can't give you any warranty about the shop.

any sources here in the US as it would be a bit silly to pay postage and wait for it to get here from the old country....?
