    Disco ball adapter Fail ( No Power )

    Hi there repairing this one while waiting on parts for my other power supply.
    The adapter just died its 13.5 VDC @ 2 A so on testing I found a short on the output diode SR3010010? can't make out the last number/Letter but it's a dual diode with output on the center pin the bit that I don't understand is the center pin has been cut off and the two pins that go into the board are shorted together with the connection on the board I have included pictures. So I don't understand what exactly the diode is doing in the circuit. So any help or explanation will be much appreciated.

    Thanks

      Parallel connection of a double diode to increase the current load.
