mem swap back to original now it is not working

chr6is000 · ‎08-05-2013

my first router had issues saying the the requirment exceed the available memmory and kept cycling through rommon. so i did a tftpdnld to delete all memmory and reload the flash. nothing happend so i thought it might be the memmory module. i took the memmory from another router exactly the same and swapped everything and it did the same thing still, so i thought it could be the motherboard.

anyways, i then swapped the memmory back to the original router that was working perfectly fine and noe it is cycling through and saying this>>>

sorry everyone and thanks i found the problem. the first router having the problem was the module must have popped out the first time(no clue how). then when i swapped i actually did the same thing and did not push hard enough to pop it in all the way.

i realized this when it loaded and i saw it said only 32 mb of main mem and i knew i had 64mb

so i figured out that the module was not in all the way, i popped it in it then said 64 mb and went to set-up mode

thanks,

i wont bother you anymore
