OK - one last attempt - as 3 short beeps can indicate either memory or graphics card issues on an Asus motherboard - its looking likely to be graphics card issue as you have no output, but worth reseating the memory as well just in case.
Are you then still getting three beeps or one long / 3...
Might be a graphics card issue.
If you carefully remove it and put it back in (ie re-seating it) and try again.
You are allowed to do this just take care.
Take a pic of the back of your pc and your connections please if you could.
Can you post your configuration from your order on here please.
Have you opened it to make sure no loose connections?
Did you test it when it arrived?
Can you turn it off and then back on again and listen carefully to the number of beeps etc - as this can be code for the error that is occurring.
When you turn the machine on - are there any beeps or sounds coming from the machine?
Have you opened the machine and made sure any components have not come loose by carefully pushing them back into slots / removing and putting them back.
Are you getting any lights or anything on the machine?
Did you ever order one back in 2020 - if so put the spec up here as may be easier to upgrade that than rebuild a new one. What monitor did you get at that time too?
Apologies if this has been mentioned but for anyone not yet picked up Resident Evil games, this is a great deal - even includes the latest Village Gold edition (£24 for 11 RE games):

and your budget? You say you dont want to go higher but if someone did you one at the same budget are you then going to say - cheaper please? what is the max you want to spend?
Lowest point - Thor movies 1st one in particular
Good humour point - Guardians of Galaxy Holiday Special
Highest point - a few - I really enjoyed some of the series they do over the films - Hawkeye was good
Thinking of doing the Star Wars timeline next LOL - but not long watched some of those :D
Taken me just over a week - helped by the fact Ive worked from home since Friday last week, so its been on in background. Also not slept well - knee problem - seeing orthopaedic consultant soon.

Is this a PC Specialist laptop - if so please can you copy and paste your spec from your order page on here. Also when you say bulging power brick - I assume you mean the charger power brick and not the laptop battery?
