Battery charger only putting out 9 volts instead of 12?

Our Solar Octane battery charger had its pcb board come loose inside the case and it shorted against something when it fell. I ordered a replacement board for it but it seems there is something else wrong with it for it only puts out 9 volts on two of the three switch postions (2 A 12 volt, 10A 12 volt). The car start position still puts out 12 volts. Would anybody have an idea of what I could check next? Would the rectifier board be toast? Can I test it with ohmmeter before just ordering a replacement?

There is an electronics forum that is probably better suited to address this kind of repair question. They helped me with an dc controller that I shorted out. The link is http://www.electronicspoint.com/
