I think it is a zener? The lettering on it is as follows: ZC 332F. It is shorted in both directions.
It came out of an Emerson EWC1302 tv/vcr combo. My dad uses it at work and dropped it slightly when moving it. The tube is ok and everything on the board looks good, no cracks etc. But the set will not power on, only whine when plugged in. I started probing around looking for shorts and bad caps. I found one cap that showed a short, the diode next to it showed a short also. I removed each individually and checked for shorts, none were apparent so I put them back in. I then probed around until I found this guy that was a apparently causing the short. I took it out and verified that it was shorted. The components mentioned above no longer show a short. So I looks like this may be the culprit. Could jostling it it cause a failure if it was borderline to begin with?
Also, I am not sure if this is a problem but the main IC(marked K2662) in the power supply section shows continuity from the right side pin to the tab/heatsink.
