Hmmm, in that case I would not omit the diode. It’s clearly there for a reason. Definitely leave it in place. The last thing you want is for it to result in internal damage or faults.

Ok, diode stays, then.
To fill all the gaps, do you think it’s better to use a 2kΩ or a 2,7kΩ resistor;
We know it works using a 2kΩ resistor, but it would be interesting to test the 2.7kΩ (if you have the time) to determine if it is able to function correctly and maybe even supply additional current using a different resistor?
