Hi everyone, among the various motherboards that I try to fix, there is this ASUS A7V400-MX, I performed some repairs, in practice I re-soldered various semi-detached components (SMD), unfortunately looking carefully I noticed that an SMD is missing, yes located near the corner opposite the doors, it is signed as D5, I guess it is a diode but it has three pins, nearby there is another similar one signed D2, but missing the D5 and not having a twin card, I cannot see if they are the same, in D2 there is something written on it, I guess it is an identification code to understand the corresponding value.
Here I wanted to ask, if someone has the same motherboard, can they take a picture so that the missing D5 is visible, or just report the reported value, or if they can tell me what to put in its place, it would still be fine.
Alternatively, not having an identical card, perhaps on a similar one there could be the same circuit, and maybe the D5 could be called DX, in that case it would help a lot.
The last idea would be to find photos online, resolute enough to be able to read the reported value, at the moment I have found some, but they are not that detailed, I hope you have better luck looking than me.
Thank you, if I find a replacement for that component, I will only have to do some welding in the back, there are some scratches that may have interrupted some tracks, in total I don't know how many there are but they should be a couple or little more.
I believe I previously wrote about the card, on the page where I usually write which is located here:

it might be boring, but i guess it might interest people like me, trying to fix old hardware.
