Alienware won't turn on
Basically I bought this alienware around 4 or 5 years ago and I've used it a lot in the beginning but then I stopped using it around a year or two ago. yesterday I took it out of my drawer and tried turning it on but the only thing was that it beeped around 3 times then stopped for a second then it did that forever. I tried a hard reset but it didn't work. Before when it happened, a hard reset work. Warranty is expired so I'm not sure what to do now. I'm not sure whats wrong.
