Powerbook 180c broken diode ID

My Powerbook 180c didn’t have the tiny screw that holds the case together under the flap, so I replaced it with a similar one that turned out to be too long, but stilled seemed to work.

Opened up the machine for something else, and it turns out that long screw busted off a diode on the motherboard. It’s D1 in the picture, seems to be labeled A6 P33. Could someone help ID this so I can solder on another one? Also… I’ve been using this machine in this state for a few weeks now, could there have been any damage with that component busted while it’s powered up?

It's labelled A6p (the 33 is not important), see page 31 of this catalog.

It's a BAS16 in a SOT23 package.

Doubtful. You should be fine.
