Ah, you were probably referring to the onboard 7 segment display at the CPU board and not the displays in the backbox. My bad. I'm sorry for that. I am repairing circuitboards for 30 years already. Dead pinball circuitboards can be divided in roughly 3 categories:
-Those who died due to age or a short circuit somewhere in the playfield
-Those who died by leaking batteries (can be hard to repair)
-Those who have been butchered to death by some "Handy Harry" (makes me sad)
Maybe I saw the last category too many times. If my car is broken I bring it to a car repair shop, there are skilled people there (skills I am lacking in this area) with the proper tools (which I don't have); I will probably screw up and pay a bigger bill in the end when ignoring this and doing it myself anyway. But we might disagree here and I think this is not what you want to hear.
As I already said, I repair a long time already and I even created my own test ROM's as Leons' is a bit unreliable with memory testing.
I will try to help.....
-system 7 boards need +12V ( Reset circuitry) and +5V (Logic)
-Pin 40 needs to be "1", if "0" the /reset signal is active and the (test)program will go nowhere
-you can check if Leon's test ROM is running at addressline 6 pin 15 at he 6802/6808 CPU
-the program is not starting due to a defective 6802/6808 CPU
-the program is not starting due to a missing clock signal
-the program is not starting due to bad IC sockets
-the program is not starting due to a defective chipselect circuitry (LS138) or check traces if there have been leaking batteries.
-the program is not starting due to a defective chip jamming a dataline or addressline. Leon's test ROM needs only a few chips to run. You can remove both memories and both PIA's. Is the program starting now (a6 pin 15)? If positive.....re-install the removed chips 1 by 1 to find the culprit.
-The onboard 7 segment display is controlled by PIA 1 (display) via a TTL BCD decoder. This might fool you. The program is running but this PIA or BCD decoder prevents to show you anything at the onboard 7 segment display. You can swap this PIA with one from the driverboard or so if socketed.

Good luck and I won't bother you anymore in this thread
