Normally, the amber power light means either a power supply or motherboard issue. There should also be lights on the back numbered 1-4 that give a specific error code depending on which ones are lit up. Here is a link to the manual so that you can figure out what the LED codes mean: Dell OptiPlex 210L Quick Reference Manual Diagnostic Lights
Manually Removing a Tape Cartridge
If problem-determination procedures identify the tape drive as the source of the problem and you are unable to eject the tape cartridge using the eject button, reset the drive to recover the cartridge:
Press and hold the eject button for 10 seconds, then release.
The status light turns amber and the drive starts through its hardware test process.
When the hardware test completes, the status light turns green.
If a cartridge is in the drive the status light flashes green until the cartridge is rewound.
The status light turns solid green when the rewind is complete and the tape drive is ready.
Although it is from an older LTO version, it must work on the newer versions too.
I also did remove tapes, if nothing worked, but it is to much to tell and show here.
NOTE: Allow at least 10 minutes for the rewind process to complete.
An Amber blinking power button indicates a low voltage problem. This can be caused by a defective power supply or a defective motherboard.May also be a defective card inserted into your motherboard.Try isolating the problem by removing all components until you just have motherboard and power supply and see if it turns on.
I was reading one of the Lutron Maestro accessory dimmer manuals yesterday, and it showed how that little light was also a fuse that you could remove to turn off power. I didn't read exactly why it has that fuse.
You might check your manual to see if that is the same feature on your accessory dimmer.
The Amber Engine Icon means the same as a Check Engine Light. Your car's ECM (Computer) has stored a Trouble Code, and you will need a OBD II Reader (On- Board Diagnostic) to get the code so you can diagnose what is wrong with your vehicle. You can go to any AutoZone and they can read the code for you at no charge. You will need to diagnose and fix the problem before the Check Engine Light will turn off.
VRM and NMI lights lit usually indicate an issue with CPU #2's VRM which can be replaced. Also check 5 lights on back middle of system. If VRM light is lit here remove CPU 2 and VRM and reboot system. If system boots, this was the issue...
This means that the drive was unable to determine the exact issue. See http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/stor-sys/110TLTO2/en/ug/trouble.htm for more information and other error codes
You only need to use the cleaning tape when the amber light indicators!
There is no need to use it everytime you use different tapes, just when the light indicators will do as you can only use cleaning tape a certain number of times before replacing it.
