There are repair faqs out there, I would attempt to do it yourself. Capcom charges people $80+ to fix the board (and shipping to and from) and as said, will only do it for Arcade operators and industry folk 
I would attempt to repair it via the steps on the internet, if it doesn't work, buying a new board is the cheaper option.

Bad day for me.
<a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=234&item=1920913168" target="_blank">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=234&item=1920913168</a>
I bought a dungeons and dragons CPS2 board from a guy on ebay
It cost me 100USD on ebay+ 15usd for shipping +24usd for customs...
i tested it,..SOLID GREEN SCREEN.
My friend Simon, told me with bleu escreen , it was the suicide battery.
maybe it was the b board?
NOPE
FUCK!
when you have a green or blue SOLID screen, spc2 a board is dead.
NO Faq, faq are for cps1 suicide battery, to change batteries, etc etc.

Um, no... are you? Check CPS Shock and the Dead Battery Society... Both have FAQs on how to repair a dead board, or replace a battery..

Gots to use the ROMZZZZZZZ! Now is a good time to invest in an EPROM programmer. CPS system is lame, sorry, I was into it for a few years then sold them all off. To much of a hassle and worry. Your board can be repaired. You will need to reburn your roms and change the battery, a bit of a job but it can be done. Check the web, this is not CPS only stuff.

Definatelly I'd love to see a site with instructions on how to revive CPS2 boards. In any case, if it involves burning again all the roms on EEPROMS, I'm afraid it would become quite expensive (not to mention I think you would need to remove the roms on the board, and that ain't easy).
I still think it would be cheaper to get another board, but then it could die too after some time. Vicious circle.
In this case I would contact the seller. Maybe he tested it 5 years ago... . Or the battery died during the trip? :o

Sad really, sad... Capcom could have done something else to stop the bootlegging... and in the end it was still hacked. All that remains now is the real boards that are a pain to collect thanks to their short life span... And, all the romzerz have their copies that will last forever... well, what can you do,

Here are some CPS2 faqs.
1) Be sure it is capcom Suicide and not something else causing the problem first. A blueish green screen normally donates suicide but a game not correctly attached to the 'a' board or faulty z80 sound roms (the ones in socket 1 and 2) can also give the same simptons. The only way to be really sure is to open the board and put a volt meter on the battery and see what its pumping out.
2) Battery swapping only prelongs the life of a board, it does not fix boards that are already dead.
3) If a board is dead there is currently no way to repair it unless you send it back to Capcom. This normally needs to be done through a arcade distributer who will then send it to Capcom. There are accasions where Capcom will repair direct but I think this more applies to games still under warrenty. In most cases its cheaper to buy the game again rather than returning to be fixed once you take shipping and thins into account.
If you need d&d again then I may beable to help as I will soon be selling the following in one go on ebay...
CPS2 orange 'a' board (only accepts Orange 'b' boards)
19XX orange 'b' board (needs monitor in vertical position)
Dungeons & Dragons: Tower of Doom orange 'b' board
Marvel Super Heroes orange 'b' board
2 clips to hold a+b boards together
Extra button connector for use with Marvel Super Heroes
If your intrested please private message me or you could wait and bid on it once its on ebay.

For the moment i wait the response from the seller.

It is sad, because most of cps1 and cps2 games are really good, but it is really a bad stuff for all the problems you can have with it.
you forget to change the battery after 4 years?
100USD in the trash..
nope 99.9 usd, because you have 16 bits eproms...
