What was your ultimate fix for the E7-A7 error?

It's been a few years but it was the MSATA card. I got it directly from Sharp from a local dealer. I then decided to start focusing on Kyocera. But I believe the MSATA fixed the issue.

Thanks for the help Doug James. It turned out to be the MSATA for me as well. I'll look to see if anyone has successfully cloned MSATA cards here.

I use HDD Raw Copy Tool along with a Apricorn mSATA Wire case to program blank mSATA cards from known good images. Sometimes I can bring a bad mSATA card back and install it in another machine and it will work so I can pull info off of it. I never copy or clone off of them though because I fear I might transfer some weirdness off of them.

It is hard to find new mSATA cards now so buying them from Sharp has been my only option lately.

I highly recommend cloning all machines to a flash drive whenever you are in front of them and attaching the flash drive somewhere on the machine. Then when a SD card, eSATA or HDD fails you can at least get it back to a fully functioning machine pretty quickly. I buy 512MB drives for around $2.10 each in 10 packs. Even if one out of ten comes in handy at some point I think it is well worth the money.

Thant's a good idea with the flash drive. On the 40 series we always had a back up sd card inside the machine or on a techs computer.
