Hi I hope you can help with this issue
I have Dell Adamo 13 (windows 7), it comes with Samsung thin SSD 128GB (microSATA), it fell down, since then it won't boot, I get this message: "PXE-E61: Media Test Failure, check cable."
I google the error, apparently it's possible that the hard drive might have died
if I boot to the system, It boots OK to Hard drive 1st, but fixed HD is not detected 97% of the time, sometimes it's detected but takes forever and asks more to hot ctrl+alt+del to restart, then HD wont be detected again
I went ahead and connected it to microSATA to USB adapter, fortunately I can see the 2 partitions D (recovery) and E (windows+my data) with no issues, although sometimes it says I don't have enough permission to access data (I still access all data when I hit continue)
Now my thought is it the cable that got loose or damaged after the fall? I showed the picture of the cable, I don't even know where to find something similar if it's ever sold, the model is DD0SS5TH200

is it windows 7 MBR master boot record that is corrupted? I have no clue
I still think it's either cable or some kind of fuse that is failing, if so this will go beyond my expertise
Where do you think my issue is located?
