Gateway Profile 4 video problem

I have a Gateway profile 4, I have no video and when I first turn the
system on I get one long then two short beeps.
I first thought it might be the inverter that went out, but the beeps
lead me to think its the video board.
Any ideas? Also where would the video board be located?

one long and two short beeps is a 'no video' error, meaning the machine
either does not detect a video card or it has malfunctioned. If the profile
4 does not have integrated video (I think it does though) you can reseat the
card. If it is integrated, you will probably need to replace the motherboard
since the profile series has no expansion slots to add a new video card.
