Hello everyone,
I have an RPi 4 model B that experienced a misfortunate accident while working on a robotics project, due to this the RPi didn't start afterward.
I identified a short circuit on a component that I believe is a TVS diode its part number is (KE 2162K), it is also cracked as seen in the image below, but I couldn't find its datasheet anywhere online!

I thought if it was really a TVS diode then I could just remove it from the board and it should work fine if not damaged, so I did.
After removing it there is no more short circuit and the power LED lights up but the RPi does not boot, and the ACT LED does not blink.
So, now I think maybe it is not a TVS diode? or my RPi is damaged?
Is there anything I can do in this situation? any recommendations to try and save my RPi? Also, why can't I find the datasheet of this component?
I appreciate any help I can get, so thanks in advance.
