Even with the ROMMON and NVRAM from the good router, the 4500M won't boot 90
percent of the time. Most of the time won't boot beyond:
System Bootstrap, Version 5.3(16) [richardd 16], RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)

It still has a serious problem. It's NOT the DRAM, Shared memory, flash,
Boot-helper flash, NVRAM, ROMMON, or interface cards.
Can't locate the lithium battery. Thanks for any help in finding it, and
other suggestions.

Swapped the 4500M ROMMON (V5.3(16)) with identical ROMMON in my 4700M; now
the 4500M boots beautifully; but the 4700M hangs in same place. Problem
isolated to the ROMMON chip.
Does anyone know where can I purchase a ROMMON chip for 4500M/4700M? This
is my home-lab so I don't have a service contract with cisco.
Thanks.

Swapped the 4500M's NVRAM with 4700M; NVRAM worked fine in 4700M. 4500M
still won't boot beyond:
System Bootstrap, Version 5.3(16) [richardd 16], RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)

Anyone know where the lithium battery is, and how to change it? Thanks.
