Cannot boot Cisco 877 router
Hi all,
Could really use some help here with a Cisco 877 router. My problem is I cannot get the router to load or boot, I power the thing on and load hyperterminal but all I'm getting is some garbled text instead of the usual bootstrap loader info. I've tried to boot into rommon mode with ctrl+break but the terminal session doesn't respond at all.

Try changing your console speed to different settings, somone may have modified the speed to a higher value resulting in the garbled textThe only easy day was yesterday! -

You mean through hyperterminal I presume, I'm pretty sure I tried double checking this and it didn't seem to make a difference. -

Yeah the connection speed in your terminal emulation software (hyperterminal) that is the most common cause when I see garbled output on the console connection.The only easy day was yesterday!

Thanks for the advice, I will try lowering the speed and let you know how I get on.
