I assume you have a backup ?

I personally would restore to factory settings then use it before
transferring any files. This should give us an indication if it is the
hardware ?

Hopefully you should find it worrks a dream. If so then something musta got
corrupted in your transfer process.

Once running, try the transfer in stages and move on to the next when you
know one stage of transfer is working fine.
