   Hank,
   You could try systematically replacing the boot roms, flash and memory
   from another 2501 to see if that made any difference. I would double
   check all the jumper settings on the main board as well. I'd be
   surprised if it really was a bad router. Good luck!

     I'm wondering if I have a broken 2501...
     
     I got this second-hand from an unreliable source, but it was
     cheap. When I console in to it, I enter the CTRL-BREAK to recover
     the password, this works fine and I get the > prompt. But then
     the keyboard locks up and I cannot type anything in. Also when I
     console into it and allow it to startup regularly, it freezes on
     the line "Serial 1 - State - Administratively Down." I can't seem
     to get to any screen where I can type something in, I was thinking
     about updating the IOS, but that won't work either.
     
     
     Anyone have any ideas of what is wrong or what I can do? Or am I
     just another sad story of "Buyer Beware"?
