Alaikum-Salam

Now would be a good time to begin saving for a new device. Even if the suggestions packet give you work, it could mean some deeper issues. Last thing you want is a flakey device.

Aslam-o-Aliakum,

I am facing a problem with Cisco 2600 Series router... it's ROM is not working... due to unknown reasons...

Now router don't boot correctly... when i boot it... and watch it on Hyperterminal (by connecting on console port) it's booting process... not boot properly... because no information correctly comes... only garbage / BϙY like this comes...

Now i recover my router...

thx... for link... but i read it before... this document related to recover a ROM which is booting... u got... rom prompt on router console like this

rommon 2 > confreg

so u can work on register and other thing... make change or recovery...

my router is not boot at least to ROM level which mean ROM is corrupted also... how can i load now ROM software in ROM beside no booting is there... on garbage characters comes that is my question...

plz help me...

Now would be the time to call Cisco support But I'm assuming that you probably don't have a valid support contract at this point. SO...

Try reseating the memory and flash (although you would normally get other bad stuff if these were bad), remove all cards/WICs/whatever, and sit down and pray to whatever god you believe in.

Reboot it, if it works try putting in a card/wic/whatever one at a time till it doesn't work anymore. If one of them crashes it try to replace that card.

Also the console port could be horked, try the AUX port after the router boots up.

Report back your results!

thx... guys... i got the solution... infact this problem came when i want to recover my router password... i went into ROM and then enter a wrong command...

rommon 2>confreg 0x40

instead of

rommon 2>confreg 0x42

therefore the Serial Port connection speed from 9600 to 19200...

sorry guy... but at that moment i don't get the point why Garbage is coming instead of information... I just think one thing that ROM get corrupted... but after these days... tomorow i get the solution by chance... when i connected my router on different speed...

thx guys...
