What boards are you trying to run on it?

Open up the control panel. There's a set of controls to adjust the monitor. Do you have dials or buttons there? Take a pic.

So you have it set to 15khz and video through AMP UP? I just checked on mine. The dips should be set to DOWN, UP, DOWN.

What happens if you turn up brightness on the remote? Does the screen turn grey?

Are you checking voltages with the boards connected? Double Dragon at least needs a lot of juice.

It's probably not a MS2930 then.

If you're seeing +5V and +12V on the jamma connector, the PSU is fine.

Take off the back cover and take a pic of the monitor chassis.

You're right, that's a MS2930. However, that's the wrong remote. That remote is for a 2932/4.

You need the one with the dipswitches.

I would be surprised if it worked without it.

You need this one:
