Unknown Part

Any help greatly appreciated! Zener diode? The silkscreen on the board is labeled for a diode. Many thanks!

Hi,
Welcome to the Digikey tech forum. I checked and wasn’t able to find any information from the markings on this part.

Any advice on where to look? Many thanks for trying!

Hi blawson,

This likely is SMAJ30CA by Diodes Inc.

Hii blawson,

As the device is a shunting protection device, the first thing you could try is to just remove the part in question and test if the system wakes up without it. If not, then there is something else too that got a deep roast.
