Some essential part of your laptop has become broken.
Number of beeps:
1 System Board Possible system board failure - BIOS ROM checksum Failure
2 Memory No RAM detected
3 System Board Possible system board failure - Chipset error
4 Memory Memory Config/Size error/(Read/Write error)
5 System Board Real Time Clock Failure
6 Expansion Device Video card or chip failure
7 Processor Processor Failure
8 Video Display failure
If it is under warranty return it, else you better go to a repair shop.

There are instruction video's on internet explaining how to open your laptop, but this is not an easy job and besides you don't have spare parts.
I think that I would take it to a repair shop and asked for a quotation for a repair. Decide than what to do.

Sorry, I don't have the one and only correct answer from here, but what you could do is check whether all connectors are properly seated, move them a little bit and reseat them, possibly clean the contacts by sanding them using a little peace of white paper (like a corner of a newspaper - don't use any fluid! - if you see black marks on the paper then they were dirty) and clean up all the dust from the fan.
Be aware that static discharge from your hands can harm your laptop, so ground yourself and your laptop during this exercise.
But doing this is not without risk, I still recommend the repair shop!!!!!!

From what I'm reading, the 8 beeps on a Dell laptop indicates a bad LCD, see here.....
