Looks like a faulty Z-Sus to me.

You could disconnect the flexi from the main board to the control board (under the PSU). At probably around 4 o'clock position on the big chip on the control, you should find the auto gen test points - could be marked R51/R52. Short these out and check the test patterns. If OK, main board is faulty.
If not, probably Z-Sus.                       Bruce

 Bruce,
As per your suggestion I connected jumper, the same fault appears in test pattern also. So fault should be in Zsus board. Can Zsus be repaired at component level ? Any repair hint?
Thank you very much for this repair suggestion! Waiting for your further reply.
P R Gore.

 No specifics, just to check FETs and Diodes for shorts and dry joints.     - Bruce

Doesn't quite look Z-sus to me. Hard to tell from camera shots but it looks to have plenty of brightness to it.

Might be time to move to the Y-SUS. Do Vs and Va match the values printed on the panel label?

On the Y-SUS check D515 and fuse FS501, and resolder the adjacent transformer.                                Bruce
