Finished the install. Motherboard CPU Cooling fins prevented mounting LCD Control board on top of frame. Power supply prevented mounting the board on right side of frame. Mounted on bottom of frame, have about 1/16" clearance between motherboard and VGA cable plug.
Appreciate the assistance.

Here's the OEM LCD screen and frame. Hard to see in the photo but the Button Board ribbon cable is not connected.
Is there any reason to install the new Button Board since you say usually not plugged in.
If not required can I also remove the ribbon cable?

Moved the controller to right side.
Looking at your photo, is there a reason the ribbon cable is not connected to the Button Board?
I see 8 wires in my ribbon cable, 10 pins in the Button Board connector, two outside pins unused?

Motherboard is refurbished MSI PM8M-V, no large hole available.
Kept the old board thinking I'd replace the swollen caps someday.
I'll try your 'right side' approach and probably remove the floppy drive.
Thanks for the photo's. Might be a couple weeks before I can get started.

Photo's as requested. Let me know if something needs a closer view.
Appreciate the help.

Purchased 14169 CNC LCD Replacement (with motherboard wrap)), received this morning. Did a search of the tech bulletins, found #54 LCD Glass replacement and #315 connector info.

CNC11-D for CPU10 V2.72 SYSTEM ID 1018051083. Three years ago replaced pendant motherboard due to electrolytic capacitor failures. Problem solved. Two years ago replaced DC310 due to X-axis problem. Problem solved. Yesterday, then again this morning, during start-up, the pendant screen remained dark...

Received the replacement DC3IO this morning. Took maybe 45 minutes to swap out old for new. Back to making chips.
A huge "Thank You" to the members that advised me how to get the machine back up and running.

Understand they are repairable but we have run out of time.

The X axis move surprised me and I slowed the feed when it approached the limit switch but pretty sure it started at normal speed.
Followed the TB155 document and the servomotor checks okay.
Today ordered a DC3IO from Centroid.
