Trying logging in through the Aux port. I saw something similar on one
of my 2500s. Try the aux port and do a show run and see if any commands
are blocking console access.

You can risk swapping the flash and RAM chips from one of the working
2500s (try the Backbones), just to see if the problem is memory related.

Good morning:
The problem is that two of my 2500's have stopped allowing console port
access. This is the problem:
- The terminal screen shows the boot sequence when the console port is
connected
- The router provides the "Press RETURN to get started!" but the router
does
not respond to the return key.
I have:
- Pulled the memory
- Pulled the flash
- Tried the CTRL-Break and was able to reach > but no other key stroke
was accepted.
- This is on two 2500's one 2503 and one 2501. The rest of the 2500's
are playing well together, (used for BBx routers.

Press RETURN to get started!
AT THIS POINT THE ROUTER DOES NOT RESPOND. The Ethernet port does show
activity with the switch, the Serial ports seem to work, just no access
via console. Any suggestions?
