I started to respond to this earlier. DONT RUN THAT SUPPLY. Unless you use reduced input (AC) voltages. And troubleshoot it stand-alone. Without it plugged into the main board. Check all caps and determine why the secondarys got so high that the 43v zener shorted. As I mentioned. There is a regulation problem.
