Need Laptop Help Badly

My laptop is having troubles. It doesn't want to boot. The lights come on like it normally does, along with the fan. However the screen remains black. I followed this advice:

"After a drop, there are any number of things that can be wrong, but since getting power is the very first step, see if you can Reset your laptop.

To do this, remove the battery and AC Adapter cord, and press and hold the power button for 30 seconds. Then, without replacing the battery try plugging in your AC Adapter to see if you get any love. If that doesn't work, remove the AC adapter, reset the board again, and this time hold the power button down as you plug in the AC Adapter cord. If you still don't get any lights, you could try removing your memory, reset the board, replace the memory, plug in the AC Adapter, and try one more time. If all of this fails, follow the advice of the other guys and get an external hard drive enclosure so you can retrieve your data from the hard drive."

When I remove the battery, and the AC, then hold down the power button whilst replugging it in, this continues beep comes on, in a pattern, beeeep beepbeep. beeeep beepbeep. continuously.

And it still doesn't want to work. Any help would be most appreciated.

Thank you.
