I've got a shorted diode in a power supply. The diode is very small and
I cannot figure out a replacement part. I think its a zener or
switching diode. It is the redish gold color type with a black band.
Its very very small and the only numbers on it are 442 (but it could be
244 or 424 since the number wrap around).

Anyone have an idea what the specs are for this so I can replace it?

Thanks,

if its a 1n244 then is a 1 amp silicone diode rated rated around 600 V
per NTE
any other number indicates from NTE that is a zener diode and that
you need more info.
