Do those board ground mods. Sounds like you did your due diligence!

Can you bump the voltage up a bit so you have 5.5vdc at the caps? My monte Carlo doesn't boot well unless I'm reading 5.25 or so VDC.
It could be bad roms as well.
Quoted from donjagra:Does it boot with the piggy board
You don't need the reset board attached. Once the piggy deux is installed and the rom install on top of it, you don't need to remove the piggy deux ever. It should be a main staple because it bypasses the fucking socket from hell.

You could buy this and new roms and see if that changes anything. I would buy your old mpu from you. I have the test rom and rig.
Any chance you could post some photos of the display and error garbage? It could be helpful for future tech.
Also can you post photos of your mpu? Front and back.
Check list: ground mods, install piggyback deux, remove backbox light, proper power at PS, proper power at mpu, rebuild interconnect, new roms, check for mpu defects near riot chips, check/clean connectors.
