It's shorted, burned on the side against the board, the side of the diode
that has part of the p/n printed (of course)...

Best I can make out is (reading around the diode:

4?
47

Physically it resembles a typical 1A black epoxy rectifier.

Would this be 1n4147? The "47" is clearly visible, and I think I can make
out
a "4" in the first part of the poorly-legible digits. No telling how many
digits between the two "4"s.

Any possibilities other than 4147?

Thanks,

Unfortunately a 1N4147 is a small signal glass diode.......

I would take a guess that what you have got is a zener diode.

Try googling for a 1N4747.

If it's ****ed then something else might have ****ed it so check the rest of
the circuit. However it sounds like it might have been slowly ****ed so you
might want to re-design the circuit.
