help needed with a Cisco 1720 router

[razor2000]

hi guys,

a friend of mine was working on a Cisco 1720 router when he entered in a few commands that the router did not take too kindly to. at this point, when the router is restarted, not even the normal boot-up sequence comes up. he thinks he really toasted the unit, and no one that i have come across has a clue in knowing how to jump-start this unit. any help/suggestions/ideas that you guys could give would be greatly appreciated.

thanks in advance!

Does he get any prompt from the router at all ?
Something like :

rommon >

?

If he does get this response, check this document.

To me it sounds like he's wiped the IOS.

But if he's not getting anything at all, sounds like he's toasted it
