I’ve got a laptop running Linux on it; connected it up at some point during my time with it. The laptop was able to see the USB to serial adapter, but I didn’t poke at it to see if anything was talking on the other side. I’ll try that today!

Make sure you have your lcd plugged in correctly, iirc there are three spots to plug in the LCD and only one works.
As a complete workaround you could install something like octoprint on a raspberry pi or another computer and hook up the printer and confirm you can control it via the webpage.

Checked for that, too. Both the original panel and the replacement only have one “port” for the cable on the back. The board has spots for two more to be connected, but both are missing. Looking at the front of the panel (as if I’m using it), the port is the left most of the three.

That’s a great idea. See if you can interact with it at all. Printrun is another option if you don’t want to set up Octoprint.
