I don't have any experience with a Type X2 specifically, but I do have lots of experience with PCs in general.

Normally if a PC doesn't boot and beeps at you, it's because of a general hardware failure during startup. I would check to make sure all the RAM is seated properly as well as the video card and any other cables or devices that plug into the motherboard.

Especially since you said it stopped working after being transported, it sounds to me like something has come loose.
