Error Code 2000-0142 on a SSD

I am having trouble with a laptop booting up.  On bootup I keep getting error code 2000-0142 "Short Self Test Failed" but the laptop has a SSD not a HDD.  It is on an Inspiron model 13-7378.  I found it hard to believe the SSD failed so soon.  I purchased a SATA to USB adapter which is way cheaper than a new SSD.  When I plug the adapter into another laptop's USB the SSD works perfectly fine.  I can view all the files, pictures, documents and etc.  This leads me to believe the SSD is working fine.  I reinstalled the SSD after checking it, cleared the BIOS error message log, and I am STILL getting the same error and the laptop will not boot.  What else can this error code mean if there is nothing wrong with the SSD?
