DDR memory test failed.  Resetting the router ...

I tried to contact cisco TAC, but i need a re-seller contract number to place a ticket, i do not have a re-seller contract number as my router was bought more than two years ago.

I called cisco support and they told me to contact my re-seller, my re-seller told me to contact cisco so i am in a eternal loop of forwarding phone calls...

Any one have any idea on how to solve the problem ?

Any help is highly appreciated!!

Thank you guys

    You need to buy some new RAM. Commented Oct 26, 2012 at 12:39
  • I have three 1812 with this error. On all three I carefully desoldered the onboard-RAM but the error persists. I tried DIMMs which run in another 1812 without any problems but fail in the defective devices. So, new RAM would not solve the problem. It's more likely some kind of RAM controller or bus fault but I'm too much a digital-hardware-noob for detailed analysis. The battery found on the boards also seems not to be the cause. On the functioning 1812 it provides the same 2,7V as on a faulty one. Commented Nov 26, 2015 at 19:13

It seems that the DRAM cannot be replaced because the first 128MB are installed on motherboard. I would call back Cisco and try to push on their side some more. They are usually pretty good about replacing hardware issues even if there is no support purchased.
