MS1 Not powering up
I had an issues with the alternator overcharging the battery on my way back home from a trip. In an attempt to make it home I tried unplugging the battery and try to drive the car. It didn't work and the car immediately shut off.
I tried restarting and MS would not power on anymore. I checked the fuses and replaced the 80amp main in the engine bay. After that MS wont come on. I grounded the fuel pump to make sure that it works and it does. So it's definitely MS. I have the unit off the car, how can I diagnose if the board is fried? Thanks

I checked the fuses again today just to be sure and they're all fine.
Also, for an instant I plugged in MS and it lit up. However, when I tried again I got no signal from it and the LEDs went dead again.
