Those are the 2 caps i was talking about replacing, i was thinking of replacing them with 16v ones.. Im uncertain about the zener being shorted, i hook it one way, and the digits begin to climb as if ive hit a capacitor in the circuit. my meter isnt zeroing out when i test it. The numbers are low but not zero... I'll have to test it again to be sure.. Ide hope the backlights are okay, this set has less than 30 hrs on it as stated earlier

It is fine to replace the 10V caps with 16V caps. The zener diode will read close to 0 in both directions if it is shorted. Otherwise it will read around 0.7V (using the diode check range on a digital meter) in one direction and open in the other. In circuit other components around it can effect the reading. If you're unsure unsolder one side of it and test again.
