Help identifying a diode in an Apple CD300/Sony CDU561

Just giving this a little bump in case anyone can give me any direction on figuring out a replacement for this, would love to get the drive back to a healthy condition.
 
I don't have any additional info, but I have a spare CD300 logic board (recapped with tantalums) if that's helpful. I rescued it out of a drive with a bad laser and don't need it for anything.IMG_2668.jpeg
 
Taking this from the inverse direction: the chip it connects to is a PROM, pin 1 is Vpp (programming voltage) which is used when programming, otherwise is advised to be Vcc.

The side nearer to the caps I'd assume is a 5v rail (continuity test it to confirm) and the other side should go to pin 1. I imagine any diode would be fine.... though it does beg the question of /why/ it burnt up, as it should see basically no current flow unless something else connects to it on the bottom of the board.


disregard, i was mistaken
