I would suggest you to drain the residual power from the laptop:
Disconnect any external peripherals (flash drives, printers, external hard drives) from the computer
Then remove the adapter
Remove the battery
Press and hold the power button for 10 seconds
Reconnect the battery and the adapter
You may try running diagnostics by either pressing + Power button while system is off or by removing the battery and the ac adapter, press the power button and plug in the ac adapter.
8 beeps generally indicate LCD failure. You may run LCD diagnostics on the system to check if there is any issue with the LCD of the system. Follow the steps below to perform LCD diagnostics:
Turn off the system
Press and hold down ‘D’ key on the keyboard while system is off
Now press the power button while holding down the ‘D’ key
If you get the solid colors flashing on the screen, LCD is working fine.
Keep me posted with the results, I will be glad to assist further.
It seems the issue is with the system LCD. I would suggest you to connect an external monitor and check if you are getting display on it.
If you are getting display on the external monitor then LCD is needed to be replaced.
If the system is covered under warranty, you may provide me the Service Tag and the name as it appears on the account via private message (click my username and then click Start a Private Message) so I may access your records and we will take it further from there.
Hope this helps. Feel free to reply for any further assistance.
If the system is not giving any display with the external device connected as well then the issue can be with the video card. Yes, in case the issue is with the video card the whole motherboard is needed to be replaced. As graphics card is embedded on the motherboard.
If you are comfortable in replacing the motherboard and you are residing in the US, you may contact dell spares to check for the price. Please refer to the link: http://dell.to/11GOIPD. For Owner Manual, you may refer to the link: http://bit.ly/REGhS6.
