I desoldered D2 and it measures roughly 1 ohm in both directions. My DMM doesn’t have a diode test mode, so just testing with resistance mode. The main controller board boots up if I remove the power board and connect 5V/GND. Since the diode is effectively a short circuit, it seems to definitely be damaged. I don’t know the cause of the problem though. I’ll do some more testing.
