Has anyone had this same issue Error Code E07 which translates to no single light followed by short flashing light this error code is for 7 flashing red lights. with .03sec intervals
If I was not such a faithfull person and just flew off the handle about this I would probably say this is the biggest Piece of cake out there. But since i am not your typical *ss*ole. I am giving Buffalo the benifit of the doubt and writing this off as a stroke of bad luck. But now here is where it gets interesting. This is the 2nd time in 90 days this has happened. Below you will find my time table
Purchase Date April 19th, 2011
First Failure Date On May 13th, it was a 7 day turn around and I had my new (refurbished) unit up and running no charge to me
Second Failure Date on July 31st it was a 5 day turn around and I have my new (refurbished) unit up and running no charge to me
Both failures were error code E07 major failure of the Logic Board.
I called Tech Support, spoke with Dan, he claims he has never seen a unit go down as much as my unit has.
the LinkStation only has a 1 year Warranty on it, the TeraStation however has a 3 year warranty, to this day I am kicking myself in the ass for not
buying the Terastation. Which will be next in November 2011.
I am anxious to see if anyone else has had this issue and your feelings about all of this.
Thank you for listening
Have a Great Day

Hi there, I posted something similar this morning ... not sure about the error code but the unit (LS-QVL/E) I bought only last week goes into some error mode everytime I try to copy data to it and then starts re-syncing the RAID5 (4x 2TB Seagate drives).
At this stage I haven't been able to make use of this 'thing' at all ....
Tried to call local support but was waiting over 1/2hour on the phone and gave up ... not good at all
Well ... looks like I may have just experienced the same issue. Bought the device two weeks ago and yesterday while wrighting a rather large amount of data to it, same thing... one long amber LED followed by 7 short flashes. Sure hope we didn't totally LOSE it as we had great deal of PDF scans on it that are critical... *sigh*
Yes... it did recover from the resynching just fine. Evidently caused by a "large file write" bug in the firmware that I saw mentioned in another thread. As soon as it got done, I upgrade to the latest firmware with now problem.
Now however, we seem to have yet another problem. See the the thread "FAQ (3 of 5): TFTP boot procedure". The "spontanious EM mode" out of the blue... :-(
amber lights are information lights. red lights are error lights.
