two seemingly destroyed diodes. need correct replacements

Block Image

The system shows a charging light but won't power on.

These two tiny diodes seem to have exploded(?) Or been damaged some other way on this secondhand new 3DS. Xl It's hard to see in the image, but they have uneven surfaces and exposed metallic stuff. I looked up images of this daughter board and this group of diodes all look the same in those.

I assume they're the problem, since everything else on the board looks okay. Unfortunately I don't have a testing probe or anything like that, though I do have a soldering iron.

It would be helpful if anyone knew what type of diodes I should get to replace these.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

If you have a light of charging that mean that the lowest diode on the image is not totally dead, but for the highest, it is possible that it is dead and prevents the launch of the console(I’ve never seen this problem (but I’ve never seen a New 3Ds xl work without their lights either)). But the problem can come from this fuses too(in pink square)
