SMB Component Help Optiplex 3020 SFF

My Dell Optiplex 3020 Small Form Factor power supply has failed, I opened the power supply up and found the faulty component. I need help tracking down a replacement ad properly identifying the component. I have taken a picture with my microscope. I would greatly appreciate any help you can give me on this. Thank you in advance.

Here are few images of the topside of the circuit board, I circled the 2 components on the topside and they appear to be ok.

@johnnyblazing looks like a bit over overvoltage ;-) Components on the other side okay?

@johnnyblazing just make sure you double check those since they look like they may have gotten hot as well. Let us know how it worked out.

@johnnyblazing what is the exact model number for your power supply? Post another image of you complete circuit board with your question. Mark the location of the component on that one so we can see the location etc. based on the complete board.

According to the makers mark and the numbering, this looks like a Littelfuse TVS diode SMCJ series (SMCJ180A) Transient Voltage Suppression Diodes Remember, there is always a reason why components fail. Double check your power supply for other issues after you replace the diode.
