To desolder the broken diode, apply heat to one side while lifting the diode with tweezers. Repeat on the other side until the diode comes loose.

If the solder seems to not want to melt, try using a larger soldering tip to transfer more heat and melt the solder faster.

After removing the shorted diode, the access point should power up and function normally. However, omitting this step could result in further damage if an overvoltage event occurs.
