Hey I have a question.

I have this old GFX. The previous owner once inserted the power plugs w/ the wrong polarity and two components burned. One was blown of the board while the just burned. The charger still works good.

Question. Anybody here know what's the purpose of the two encircled component? I'm guessing these are diodes, similar to what novak uses in their ESCs to protect the electronics in case of reverse polarity. If so,can I changed them with ordinary rectifier or schottkey diodes?
