I have a stern big game that was moved recently and now the displays don't work. They seem to be getting 5v voltage, the low glow comes on. It has a replacement power, sound and MPU board. I even tried a different MPU to see if that works. The game fully boots and is playable but the screens won't come on. I have checked all connections, and unplugged/plugged everything back in. Any ideas?

Same issue let's work together. Need to verify you are sending and receiving power.

Original or LED displays? +5V would work for LED not so much for originals. Check the fuse with a multi meter for the displays, can't remember if it's on the SDB or lamp panel board.

There's one on the SDB if your game has a Bally SDB in it, and one on the rectifier board (F2, 3/4A slow blow).
