Dead ASA5505 - help!

jimgurley
Level 1
Level 1

Our office ASA5505v06 croaked yesterday.  No leds or apparent power, although I have confirmed power is getting into the power jack.  Too many unmarked components to reverse engineer the thing.

 

If I buy a replacement unit from eBay or Amazon, if I swap the CF card between the units, will it transfer all the configuration and license info?  Is the license info tied to a hardware component within the box?  Our unit was originally configured by a consultant who is no longer in the business.  We're a rural medical practice and there is no such thing as local IT help.  Business grinds to a halt without the router.

No console.  Luckily, through the miracle of YouTube, found others with similar problems, and it turned out to be a bad capacitor (C275) in the power supply section of the board.  It did show me that I'm not prepared for a more permanent failure.
