Backside, first image. It will work without that diode but you open the console and or the tv up to potential damage. It is an "essential" part of the circuit protection. 71 Zener diode. Readily available. Cheap from china, less cheap from sellers who bought them cheap from china. Top side, second image. The capacitor missing from right next to the hdmi traces, left side. The console can work fine without that capacitor. But it'd be best to replace it. That area is looking real rough, good luck!
