E310 diag lights 1 & 2 stay on a long time (10 minutes)

you might need a fuel pump relay under dash 10 min fix/and your d4 flashing light bad transmission.

There are lights on the back of the Dell that tell you a little more. Dell has an extensive list of trouble shooting procedures at http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/SYSTEMS/dim3100/en/sm/adtshoot.htm#wp1124478
Hope this information will help.
Your response is very much appreciated. Thank you for using Fixya...

First up, don't buy a Dell again unless you like old **** with horrible support.

On Topic

- Did you pull out the keyboard and try another USB port (if it is an USB keyboard), or try another keyboard.
- If that doesn't work try clearing the CMOS (remove power plug, power on (to empty capasitors), either remove the CMOS battery and power on, or find a jumper to reset the CMOS. (since this is a Dell a that might not exist but check the manual).

That is the boot loader message to boot to the NTFS Primary boot partition (Primary Boot Record for Descriptor 1 is the Utility partition)
Normally, this message flashes and the system boots, since it is not there is a failure in the boot process.
#1 run diags on the Hard Drive (CTRL+ALT+D at boot) and see if it passes
If it does
#2 Boot to you XP CD, press R for recovery console, and run the COMMAND CHKDSK /R see if the system will boot
If no go, go back to recovery console, try the command BOOTCFG /Rebuild then see if the system will boot
If That fails, try reinstalling Windows
If Diags Fail or all the above fail, replace the hard drive

1- Go To My Computer , and Right Click , Choose Properties .

2- Select Hardware , then Device manager , Then System Devices , and Choose CPU To Ati

3- Update it manualy and Select PCI Bridge .

4 - It will work.

5- If u have any problem E-mail me @ [email protected]

Generally, the 1 and 2 Diagnostic LEDs indicate a failure of a PCI expansion card.
http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/dim3100/en/sm/adtshoot.htm#wp1130520
So remove any expansion cards, see if anything changes. If it does, one of the PCI cards is suspect.
If the system has an expansion video card in the PCI-E slot, and removing the PCI cards had no effect, remove the PCI-E video card and connect to the intergrated video port (You may have to remove a black cover from the port) and see if you get video. If you do, then the Expansion video card has failed.

Try this:

Press and hold the Lock button until the light blinks (about 10 seconds). A single blink indicates that the timer is reset to 1 1/2 minutes. Repeat the procedure and the light will blink twice, resetting the time to 2 1/2 minutes. Repeat again for a 3 1/2 minute interval, etc. up to a maximum of four blinks and 4 1/2 minutes.

Hi,

here are a few things to try.
remove the power lead from the computer, for 5-10 minutes then reconnect.
press and hold the power button, for more than 3-5 seconds, incase the system has gone into hibernation/standby mode.
Remove any un-necessary connected devices ( usb powered Printers-cameras et,c )

I found this on a website try this

1. Put the newly cut Master key into the keyway and turn it to the ON (RUN) position. A "security" indicator
light on the dashboard will stay on for 10 minutes.
2. Within 1 minute after the indicator light goes off, turn the ignition to "OFF", then return to the ON (RUN)
position. The indicator light again will stay on for 10 minutes (Do not remove the key.)
3. Again, within 1 minute after the indicator light goes off, turn the ignition to "OFF", then return to the ON
(RUN) position. The indicator light again will stay on for 10 minutes. (Do not remove the key.)
4. When the light goes off the third time, the new key is programmed into the computer and will start
the car. Remove the key and then re-insert it into the ignition lock and start the car.
All previously stored codes will be erased. To stop the process at any time, simply remove the key and use
an existing key to start the car.

What os you running? it booting problem or diag problem? If you can access windows desktop, you can try use Microsoft Bootvis to Diag your boot problem and Bootvis also can optimze you boot time :)
