Hi Leef28,

Thank you for writing to Dell Community Forum.

Do you get the Dell logo screen? What is the status of the power button?

Please click my DELL-username and send me a Private Message with the Dell Service Tag number and your email address.

No I don't get the Dell logo just blank screen, I've been in contact with Dell but because my warranty has ended they won't do anything unless I pay

The three beeps likely mean a bad mainboard -- there may be multiple issues, but three or one beep indicates a board failure.
