I recently bought a cheap Genesis and everything is working except the displays.

I have a same system Monte Carlo and I swapped displays and they work in the Monte Carlo.

What I have done/tried:
Did recommended ground mods.
Changed orange Capacitor on the power supply in the cabinet.
Checked and reset all of the connectors multiple times.
I hit the display connector with the MM and got very low readings. I did find a messed up IC on the MPU and will be ordering that ASAP but I am not sure if that is the culprit.

I dont have a manual on it so I can't refer to it.

Is there anything I am missing to check?
Thanks for any suggestions you might have.

Even a PDF of the MPU would help a bunch.....

Ok I narrowed it down to the transformer area. I hit the fuse for the display and it was less than 1v and I tried the monte carlo and it was 27-32v in that range and the display works. It isnt the fuse but the feed. Where should I look next as I have never dealt with a transformer.
