Hi Robin,

This might be a hardware issue, you would need to open a tac case for it. Have you tried booting it up in the rommon mode, when the ASA boots up keep hitting ctrl + brk keys, it would take you to rommon mode, if still it doesn't it shoudl be a hardware issue. Also please chcek if you have two memory sticks installed on the device or just a single?

Hope this helps.

P.S.- rate posts which are helpful.

Thanks,
