Hello all. I tried to locate a chat room for this specifically but...this is the only thing that I've found.

I'm not electronically knowledgeable enough to know what to do so, here's my question;
I have a blown HER303 and I'm wondering if I should replace it with a "larger" diode? I ask this since it looks like it stays pretty hot whenever energized.

Oh yea, this is a compact hard drive power supply.

Any help would be VERY appreciated.
