I have given power to sim900a module with 5v and 2.5a

connections:
vcc-power supply
gnd-power supply
gnd arduino
tx-8(arduino rx)
rx-9(arduino tx)

earlier 10-15 days ago it was working fine but now it is not responding to at commands sometimes serial monitor shows blank or sometimes shows question marks.
What is the problem i cant recognize?​

 

Hi,

Designing electronics means to take care about: voltage, current, timing, power dissipation..

There's not much information about all this in your post..but still I see a lot of issus:
Just on a quick view at the SIM900 datasheet:
* max recommended operation voltage is 4.5V but you used 5V
* max current drawn is 3A, but you provide 2.5A only
* abs max digital signal voltage is 3.1V, but many Arduino devices use 5V.

Didn't you read the datasheet? That's what you have to do....
If you knowingly violate datasheet specifications, then you should not be surprised by malfunction or killed modem.
