Edit: If it is CPS2 (which I think has a suicide battery) you may have killed the battery backed ram (by bumping the battery) that hold the encryption data. There are some people who have broken that system and will "reload" that data for you. (I am not privy to this, but other could help you there).

Yeah, could be your suicide battery decided to bite it. In which case, there is one guy (that I know of) overseas that will fix your roms for you. Just google CPS2 Phoenix.

Sounds like you're not getting a good connection from the A to B board. If you have the clips on it, take them off, remove the A from the B board and then re-attach...press firmly and try again.
Of course you'll possibly have to remove the edge connector to do this...so make sure to re-seat it nice and firm as well.
...as for it being a suicided board...I THINK I remember reading somewhere that when a board suicides, it leaves a COLORED screen at startup...since you have a black screen, I'd think that it's likely a connectivity issue.

the power was on when you did this?

First thing to do is verify that the power supply is working. Measure the voltage at the boardset to know whether or not it's even getting power.
And as Bender started to mention....make sure any interlock switches are working.
If you have either the coin door open or the back door off..... check there.
What "fan" comes on? Power supply fan? Cabinet fan?
A cabinet fan might not neccissarily be wired through the interlocks.

The CPS2 board has 4 huge pin connectors. I don't recall the pin count, but it's something like 70 pins per connector? Three rows of X length. In any case, I scratched my head for two days on a "dead" CPS2 board only to find two or three of the pins were inadvertently bent out of shape from the last guy who manhandled the boards. How someone accomplished doing this on a piece of equipment that goes together like DUPLO blocks is beyond me.
Just examine your pins and make sure there's no crap in the mating components before reassembling them.
