Diodes are top right near the power connector - also check the tiny fuses/resistors just above them.

Checked all of them. All without beep and ~200 on a multimeter:(

Not sure what you're measuring there - the fuses should have very low resistance and continuity and the diodes should have continuity and low resistance in one direction. fzabkar has a guide about protection over on hddoracle

I have already pointed out an open fuse at Tom's Hardware, but the OP hasn't replied.
