Unfortunately SM labelling is often completely meaningless, and the only way to identify parts is from the service manual for the unit - which is usually not available.
 
Thanks for your quick reply I really appreciate it. Can I at least try something? It broken anyway

Check the one that's left to make sure it's a diode, and if it's a schottky type or not (you may need to remove it to test it), and replace it with something similar.

However, it doesn't seem to have a stripe to show which end is which, which most diodes do.
