Hi,

I'm afraid, but looks like a hardware issue (with Flash).

Hi,

No worries, as long as the Router has no Hardware issues, it can be always brought up.

Would please give a bit more details by issuing the dir flash: command at the Rommon mode.

We shall be more than happy to help you out.

Moreover you may visit the following link for details
