Sounds like the door lock or sense switch on door lock has failed, I'd start by checking that.

More than likely your carburetors are gummed up with old fuel that turns to varnish after sitting for a long period of time without fuel stabilizer. You can easily test this by spraying a little quick start starting fluid into the carburetors and then try to start the motor. If it cranks up, for even a few seconds, then start by rebuilding the carburetors. If this solves your problem then I would recommend changing your water pump impeller as well.

Dell beep codes:

If your computer beeps during start-up:
Run Dell Diagnostics to identify a more serious cause.

Beep Codes Your computer might emit a series of beeps during start-up if the monitor cannot display errors or problems. This series of beeps, called a beep code, identifies a problem. One possible beep code (code 1-3-1) consists of one beep, a burst of three beeps, and then one beep. This beep code tells you that the computer encountered a memory problem.
If your computer beeps during start-up:
Dell Diagnostics to identify a more serious cause.

hope this helps

how many beeps you have?if three short beeps its you RAM failure..try to reinsert you RAM or replaced it a new RAM..if theres a long beep..its your video card..

here are the beep codes for your exact dell model. this should give you a starting point on finding out what the problem is.

Beep Codes Your computer might emit a series of beeps during start-up if the monitor cannot display errors or problems. This series of beeps, called a beep code, identifies a problem. One possible beep code (code 1-3-1) consists of one beep, a burst of three beeps, and then one beep. This beep code tells you that the computer encountered a memory problem.
Reseating the memory modules may fix the beep code errors in the following table. If the problem persists, see "Contacting Dell" in your Owner's Manual for instructions on obtaining technical assistance.

Cause
1-3-1 through 2-4-4
Memory not being properly identified or used

the alarm could also be for water in the bilge ( hole in the boat)

It is a low voltage warning beep. They will beep even with the slightest voltage dip. Very annoying. You may be able to go into the set up menu and turn it off or lower the volume of the beep.
