My multimeter buzzer is ok and sounds when continuity is checked. However, no display on the LCD. Also, no numbers are showing in every tests voltage, resistance, etc.

I have replaced the battery and checked for any damages on the board. No signs of it and have cleaned everything.

How to check if power is supplied to the main IC chips?

    \$\begingroup\$ To be honest, it sounds more like a problem with the display than with power to the ICs. \$\endgroup\$

830 type multimeters are known to be of low quality. Harbor Freight used to give then out for free. It is probably not worth your time to troubleshoot. Most likely, either the LCD or the Main IC is trashed. In either case, it is not worth fixing even if parts are available. Get another one if that is all you can afford or upgrade to a better meter.
