Jeff,

I replaced ZD6 with a 33V zener, could this cause the problem I'm
experiencing, how voltage can this (33V) zener shunt to ground?

David,
Check Q1, Q2 again.
Then check the small signal diodes for a leaky one...you can measure
them in circuit, when you find one,
unsolder one leg to confirm.
Also, ESR all the caps.
That is a 43v also check ZD5 an 18v zener...
The marking should be on these, if you look closely.

This VCR was in for service a few weeks ago, SMPS was dead, replaced the
following:

Q1 - C4418
Q2 - ECG382
D02 - IN4148
C09 - 22uf/16v

Then the display was blinking when powered up, found ZD6 leaky, replaced
it with 33V/1W zener (I think this is supposed to be a 43V zener?),
anyway, ZD6 blows within a minute of VCR being powered up. What could be
causing this? What circuit(s) does this supply?

Thanks in advance,
