Jackboy is onto it, I think if condensation is the problem. But I also think that cleaning of the contacts is a good idea too. You can do this with a pencil eraser quite easily.
Lastly, you could try resetting the camera. This is a fairly easy procedure which involves either going into your setup menu and choosing "reset," holding down the menu key for 5 seconds, or, removing the batteries for a few minutes. It may be that the firmware loading got corrupted and the camera just needs to be "rebooted," which is something that turning it on/off won't accomplish. But after which, you should have the camera reset to factory default settings.
Another tip is to go to the camera's website and look for firmware updates. Download and install them.
Lastly, digital cameras need alot of battery power. ALOT. batteries with a higher mAh - like around 2500mAh would satisfy the higher power requirements of your camera.

I had the same problem.....3 beeps, no lens, no screen. I was ready to shop for a new one, but I wanted to try all the different solutions given on this site. Well, tapping the bottom of my camera on my desk 3 times worked. Now all is well. Thanks to all.

Its not the batteries...I have the same camera and I am extremely dissapointed. I can put in brand new LITHIUM batteries and it will still beep 3 times...I also have the problem of the lens staying out...I will go to take a picture and as soon as I click the shutter button half way to focus it will turn off....Right now I am having this problem but this time the camera won't turn back on...It usually will turn back on after it does this...I have friends who also have the same camera and I was taking a picture for them and it did the same thing...just last night!
