Invalid configuration information - please run SETUP program

Please help..

My laptop is XPS M1210. Originally, the problem was that it refused to power on. So, I decided to replace the motherboard with a new one but to no avail. I then replaced the power board circuit which allowed the laptop to power on. However, as soon as it powered up. I received the message, "Invalid configuration informaton - please run SETUP porgram". I tried accessing the BIOS via F2 but this stubborn laptop did not respond. I am stuck with a black screen with this message. Please if anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it.

    Unplug the adapter, remove the battery, and hold the power button for 30 seconds,  Then plug the system in  and see if it'll boot.  if it won't, chances are the replacement baord is faulty.
