    So The only boards that were not replaced are the displays and the lamp driver?
    Try narrowing it down further. Disconnect all the displays and wait then try starting a game. Do the same with the lamp driver disconnected.

    Only the switched IL bridge should get hot. Since the fuse is not blowing I have to assume it's not excessive current.
    Try playing the game with most of the switched lamps removed and see if the temperature drops. If it does changing the game to LEDs should fix the problem.
