I am in despair. I have a PIX 515, and I think its dead. Since a bought it used, I worked on it only 5 times.
I put the IOS 6.2 to use it, and everything was going perfectly. Suddenly, it made an error of the type "Watch dog failure". I had to reboot. (I don't remember if I had already rebooted it since I upgraded the IOS). But it never rebooted. The PIX boots, the fan word, but the leds don't light up, except if I take out a jumper. I thought about the PSU (there is a notice on the Cisco web site, but my series number is not there.) I opend my PIX, but while I am not used to it, I produced a spark with the digital multimeters in the PSU. I tested the PSU. (an electrician says it was working, and the voltage seemed good). I tested the RAM on a machine made for this task, and it also seemed okay. I put the lithium batttery of my PC in the PIX to test it. It failed... I also tried another CPU, but nothing changed. What is strange, i that if I put the Hyper-Terminal in 115 000 8-1 material, when it is closing, there are little squares on the console, as if it was sending lots of current. ੿੿੿੿੿੿੿ Even stranger, when the PIX is closed and I plug a USB cable on my PC, the 3 leds light up and stay open... As I reboot the PIX, they close... Is my PIX dead? Is there something to do with it? I think that Cisco does not offer a support, and that the PIX does not have a value in detached pieces. Money wasted for my studies...
