Perhaps the internal memory is full?
Do you have an SD card in the slot? Is it correctly formatted (newer - bigger - cards may be incompatible)?

There are two batteries in the LX7007 Pro IGC. I owned one a few years ago, and I had to replace both to get it working properly. If the GPS battery is dead, the epoch might be wrong, which might set an alarm that the position is not reliable; no way

We replaced both batteries this year, and the reported GPS date is
correct. There is a not-too-large SD card in it. I'll check/clear the internal memory when I get the chance.

As mentioned, the formatting is important. Old gear needs old file
systems, like FAT or FAT32. Definitely not NTFS.

Silly Question, but is the Protect Switch on the SD Card in the NOT
PROTECTED Position?
Worth visiting the SD Association site: https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter/
and using their formatter (but only for SD cards.

I'll check when I get the chance, but this LX7007 has successfully
written data to this SD card in the past. Also, the transfer to the SD
card is a separate step. When it is "computing security" the LX7007 is writing to its internal memory (which I'll check to make sure it is not
full, but you'd think it would tell you that explicitly?).
Have you contacted LX or asked on the LXNAV group?

The LX7007 is old (from before the company split), not supported, and apparently not discussed in that group. This specific version has the
SD card slot, which is a major advantage over the older models. Other
than this issue, the one we have seems to work fine, for nav and as a
vario, now that we've figured out which setting makes the vario audio bearable :-)
