u1 = offline switcher ic no problem to get. did you take d3 out of circuit and check it if it is indeed shorted? those markings on the diode do not tell me anything, I think there is more hidden underneath. That diode should have a voltage drop of 0.5 to 0.7V or 500 to 700 ohms and it should read that only one way. replace the blown capacitor with same or better specs.
