c1841 no longer boots from any IOS image

Hello!

I have a number of 1841 routers as part of my lab.  All worked perfectly until yesterday, when one suddenly failed to boot.  The output is below.

I have been unable to find the exact same issue in any of the forums.

I understand the most common cause of this behaviour is a corrupt IOS image - however swapping the flash with a working router still gives the same result.  Similarly, placing the 'corrupt' flash in another router boots without issue.  I am therefore led to believe it is the router at fault rather than the IOS.

Is there anything else I can try to get this up and running or is this likely a dead unit?

Many thanks for your help!

Chris.

If you have a support contract for this router it is worth opening a case with Cisco TAC. Otherwise, given the symptoms that you describe, I believe that it is a dead unit.
