I forgot to mention, many have issues with Windows 10, etc updates. May need to just update the drivers. Bit should make sure the blink sketch, in the examples file folder of Arduino ide. Upload that and should see an led blink on the mega. USB cable and the mega board and your PC. Three things and should check the 3.3/5 volt regulator on the mega as sometimes people can burn them out by overloading the regulator. Things like adding a Bluetooth, fan controller that uses servo outputs, large or full graphics LCD, all these add up in current not to mention the board itself and the stepper motor drivers and end stops. A new mega and ramps is pretty cheap now a days. But if your looking for a new board then I recommend you check out rwg research on YouTube and look up the oversized delta. OSD build he is currently building and testing. He shows how the mega is just not enough for the delta calculations and autolevel and run the lcd while reading info from memory card. Check out the duet board, new ones have wifi. The lcd you have can be used with it and in future can upgrade to a full touch screen interface. But if all works and also want the interface check out octoprint, I support on patreon, and or repetier host. There are others so be careful in your choice.
