Default Repair Panasonic VCR PV-9661 and Panasonic PV-M1357W TV/VCR Combo

Ok both of these are my parents and they had a brown out. Both then
refused to work and when taken apart the fuses were blown. After the
second replacement fuse blew I knew something else was wrong. I could
really use the schematics if anyone has them. I can't seem to find
them.

Aside from that I have figured out that the power supplies are
Swithing Mode Power Supplies. Both the boards are virtually identical
in power layout. I did some searching and found out that for these
power supplies when they won't power on and keep blowing fuses you
should test the main transister on there. I pulled them both off to
test them properly and they both game me different readings but I
think they are both shot based on the readings I got. I managed to
find replacements at MCM electronics and ordered them. Any ideas or
help would be appreciated. If this doesn't work should I check the
bridge rectifiers? How do you test those?

Thanks!
