Moish, you are right. 8Beeps is usually a LCD or cable failure. Try this first : · "If the LCD on the system does not show any display, here are some basic steps that you can perform: · Remove the battery and AC Adapter from the laptop and press the power button down for about 10-15 seconds to release flea power. · Power up the system and then press the F12 key during the boot process to get to the Boot Menu, if you are able to see the display. · It may be necessary to repeatedly press the key during the start-up process. · Use the up and down arrow keys to select on the menu and press the Enter key. · Or · Hold down the Fn (function) key · Power on the notebook · You should then see the Dell logo screen with the message 'Diagnostic boot selected' in the top corner. · You can then release the keys · While the LCD BIST test runs, the LCD is operating on its own, free of the video controller, which may be discrete (a video card) or on board (on the system board). The test allows you to distinguish an LCD panel problem from a problem with the controller. If the colors are displayed across the screen without a problem, then the issue is not with the LCD." from here. Should you have a broken LCD, I would contact Dell and talk to them about the warranty issues. It is possible that they still honor the original warranty. If not, then the cost of repair will be yours, but at this point you really have nothing to lose. Hope this helps, good luck. Answer from oldturkey03 on ifixit.com

THEY JUST OPEN LAPTOP AND HEAT UP GPU ON MOTHERBOARD.. The same problem i found in my laptop dell n5010. · 8 beeps has many possibilities, check following · 1) cable of display if found loose , disconnected then tight or connect in socket · 2) if cable is connected well, try external monitor, if it works on external monitor, display is dead, replace it · 3) if external monitor not working, and system is running but no display then GPU ball connection with motherboard are melt and disconnected. it can be fixed by various reflow methods · 4) if not working above there may be motherboard failure, ask expert and replace if need. · sometimes heat sink pipe (heat pipe ) stop working and so heat can not pe transfer from motherboard to atmosphere, so overheating and motherboard failure such as 8 beeps, disconnected GPU is resulted, heat pipe used by dell and other company have very long life so , 90 to 95% cases have not problem of heat sink pipe. · I REPAIRED MY DELL N5010 WITH SAME PROBLEM....ITS GPU IS OVERHEATED AND BALL(SOLDERING JOINTS FROM GPU WITH MOTHERBOARD ) MELT AND CONNECTION BETWEEN GPU AND MOTHERBOARD LOST. BUT AS DELL PROGRAMMER SETS 8 BEEP FOR BLANK OR BLUE DISPLAY. LAPTOP SHOWING DEAD DISPLAY OR DISPLAY WIRE/CABLE PROBLEM INDICATION. MAIN CAUSE IS THE MINI/MICRO GAP BETWEEN GPU AND HEAT SINK PAD.. HEAT SIN PAD DID NOT IN CONTACT WITH GPU CHIP. SO HEAT DID NOT TRANSFER AND OVERHEATING melt ball(SOLDERING JOINTS FROM GPU WITH MOTHERBOARD ) so connection between GPU and motherboard was lost.. i set my GPU by heating with proper way. do not try yourself without guideline. · Also u can install software speedfan(free download google it), so you can run cooling fan full speed for continuous heat throw from GPU. because dell programmed is set to run on temperature sensor. battery will consume power but it is safe for overheating in such case, and you need to set speed manually every time when starting laptop or after sleep mode, otherwise fan will not run and motherboard will damaged that can not repaired. · my laptop is 5 year old, still its running good. dell products are good.

August 15, 2015 - keep pressing F12 key on your keyboard to run PSA (Pre-boot System Assesment) unique to dell systems they are on-board diagnostics to check any hardware failure in the system it is essential when the system could not complete ‘Power On Self Test’ AKA POST · when you see the boot menu navigate to the diagnostics option using the arrow keys and press enter to select · When I was troubleshooting I was only told about step 1 to 3 but I still heard 8 beeps after that so they told me your LCD is no good anymore some people had changed there LCD’s and still had the same problem , such a waste
