Hi,
i have cisco 881 router, which shows now a odd behavior since it was
stored in a closet for the last three month.
if the router was powerd down for longer than one day it boots into
rommon. after a power cycle it comes up just fine with ios and the
startup-config. but if i leave the router powerd off for the weekend it
will boot into rommon again.
any hints? anything i could do and check or is this a case for my reseller?
ct,

I would say: hardware defect. Probably bad capacitor or similar.

What you need to do yourself depends on your local legislation, and
whether you are a consumer or a company. Depending on this, it can be
that you need to prove it is defective or the reseller needs to prove
it is OK.

It looks as if it is "forgetting" its boot sequence. Open the case and look for

i've checked the battery and it shows 3,03V on my voltmeter. furthermore

the battery is soldered to the pcb. so i guess it will be a case for the
reseller.
