A dark spot on the circuit board does NOT mean that the diodes are shot, or the power supply is bad. Dark spots are called burned spots that the power supply accumulated from heat throughout the years, and I've seen this in VCRs all the time.
The only way to tell if the diodes or resistors are bad is you get a meter and test them.
