I'm still amazed at that picture I'm using Firefox, I can use CTL + and expand that until the resistor is 1/4 of the width of my screen and still no pixelation. Is that just because they started with a high pixel count camera? VS. the other sites where the colors were not identifiable when expanded. Mikek
Almost all modern browsers interpolate up from the raw image which in this case happens to be 400x300 pixels. The original image has about 3 pixels across the IC pins and you are lucky that it has 2 pixels on the resistor bands you wanted and synchronous with the colour subsampling.

Nah, just a software trick called interpolation, FF uses some arithmetic to figure out what would go well at the in-between coordinates.

If you think the zeners, resistors, and capacitors just all happened to "go bad at the same time" and were the cause of the failure, you'll be surprised when you replace them all and they all burn up again.
I too am not happy when it's time to replace the twenty-year old timer in the washer or drier, but $70 for a spare part to keep the appliance running another couple decades doesn't seem so bad.

Yup. Generally if multiple parts are fried then at least one of a class of events that are known in technical terms as "Really Bad" has happened to the board. The damage is rarely limited to just the parts that are visibly damaged.

My hope is that one part on the PCB went bad causing the other failures. If it something external to the PCB, I probably wasted $42 on the new PCB I ordered. Mikek
Check; that "white" band was, like i implied, not spaced properly. At least the colors were not too far off..
I ordered the pcb Monday morning online, I received the part Wednesday afternoon. Installed all the connectors and put the voltmeter across the resistor that had to many volts across it. When I powered it up the resistor had half the voltage it did before, so far so good. It's working fine. Many cudos to partsdr for a very low price about half of other sites, and fast shipping!
Thanks all, Mikek
-- Thanks for this and thanks for that, but how about just a token of appreciation to the US DOD, and our tax dollars, which made it all possible in the first place.
Yes John, one of the few legitimate use of our tax dollars is in the defense of our great country. Thank you to all the men and women who have served. God Bless America Mikek
