I would say that it is almost certainly a diode, and if it's right after the
fuse, on the main feedline coming in from the power supply, then its purpose
will be reverse polarity protection - and it's probably done its job. Ask
the owner if they tried a " wrong " power supply in it ...

Assuming that it is a diode, and even being a surface mount type, it should
have some kind of polarity marker on it, either a stripe at one end, or a
chamfer on the case, then any general spec surface mount silicon power diode
will do. It would probably be rated something like 100v, 1 amp. It
should be connected cathode to rail, anode to deck, so that it is not
conducting under normal circumstances.
