Hayward Goldline Aqua Plus - No display

Giving it one last kick at the can before I upgrade to the Omnilogic.

Issue:

When I flip the breaker on the display comes on briefly before going dark, almost like the board isn't able to supply enough power to the display to keep it lit. This has been getting progressively worse over the last few weeks. Opened the pool this year to this issue. No issue in the fall. When I first opened the pool the display would come on and I could get about 5-10 seconds of interaction with it before it started to turn off/on repeatedly. I used to see the software revisision and could briefly access the menus. No visible error codes. Now when I supply power the display emits a bit of light then stays dark. When I turn the power off at the breaker the display will "blip" about 3-5 seconds after disconnecting power.

I went through the Hayward video that measured voltages, resistances, fuses, etc.

Voltage is being supplied to the display through pins 1/3.

I was unable to measure AC voltage from the orange leads to the rectifiers. 20amp fuse tested good. Video doesn't consider a scenario in which the fuse is good but AC voltage from the orange leads is missing.
I've already replaced the transformer which didn't fix the issue. The resistance between 2 of transformer leaders was bouncing around which could indicate a short? Wondering if it caused damage further down the line? While I'm not 100% certain it isn't the display I noticed the chlorinator isn't turning on and no "clicking" sound is heard when I give the system power. Even if the display is hosed it should still be activating the folder/pump on giving the system power.

I've attached a bunch of pictures of the front/back of the board in the hopes that someone smarter than me can help me identify the issue and save me a couple grand.

Is there a manual that would allow me to test nominal continuity between parts of the board while I have it out?
