The first thing I would try would be to replace the Zip Chip with a
normal 65C02.  My guess is that the Zip Chip died.  I've heard that
there was a design problem with certain models of the Zip that would
cause them to fail after extended use.

If you're lucky and the Zip is still good then a replacement
motherboard can be had cheaply from eBay.  The Australian PAL version
of the motherboard may be a bit more of a challenge however.
