3550 hardware issue

Professionals, I upgraded a working 3550-48 to new code now cannot get the
Catalyst to boot - it will boot to the switch: prompt

TAC tells me it's dead
This is my lab switch so I do not have a contract to RMS it against.

Has anyone seen this behaivior in a 3550 ?
needless to say, I have already eraseed the flash, then did an xmodem to
make sure it was not the .bin file that was causeing problems.
I also took the cover off but don't see any flash chip to reset.

Thanks,

Richard
