Diode identification please

If you feel like splashing out 99p...

Ha ! At that cost why wouldn’t I at least try and fix it .

Thanks again

2.4v obviously. Even if it isn't the correct value the worst that will happen is that it will go pop and you've wasted 99p!

If you could measure the voltage across where the diode would go before you order the replacement, just in case it might be a 24v one. I doubt it, you could always order 5 of each and get a whopping 2p discount....

Some else said 24v , I’ll order both and try the 24v first , they also said that if it is the diode then the display wouldn’t work at all , I’m thinking the diode is definitely burnt ( I can see the burns on the wires ) .

I would suggest trying the 2.4v first, squirting 24v around might cause damage to other components if it's not correct. You only need to put the wires through the holes and twist them so they make contact and quickly flick on the power. If nothing happens then maybe try the 24v but be ready to switch off quickly if you smell anything!
