    Launch Automotive Diagnostic Tool Missing Diode and Cap

    Hi there, I need some help identifying replacements for a Launch Diagnostic Plug In Tool. I can't seem to find any information on the LF 7HZPU Diode so I have no idea what to replace it with if anyone can help? Also there is a missing component on the side that I highlighted in green and I assuming it's a cap?

    I have added some photos for reference.

    The TVS diode is Littelfuse (logo sideways LF), marking code LT gives SMBJ18A. I think the other text is manufacturing info.
    The missing part looks like a capacitor (rounded edges) but is that a buck-converter inductor near it?

      Looks like this is the part that goes onto the OBD-II port. These TVS diodes are there for protection.

        Thanks for the useful info. I found the TVS diode locally, That is a buck-converter inductor yes. What smd cap do you think I can use?

          It looks like a power supply cap and likely the same at the other big ones, so a wild guess 10-22uF MLCC at 25-50V to match the package size. Bigger is a safer guess.
          I'm surprised the inductor did not get hit and cracked, that would be bad. You could check the many polyfuses as well for physical damage.

            The inductor cracked yesterday trying to scrape off that silicone sealant, I'll replace that too. Thanks a lot for your knowledge. I am getting the parts tomorrow. I'll update on the final result.
