Perhaps you can narrow the fault down by the beep code you are hearing:

IMHO, the most likely culprit is the GPU chip has failed.

Agreed with
Neil. Time for a motherboard swap or a new laptop altogether.
Good luck.

One long and two short beeps is a classic sign of total gpu failure. This sometimes happens on these laptops with a production date before August 2008, but the vast majority of the failures are before febuary 2008. We've had a thread going on this at the
lenovo forum for years.
