    What's up guys, after so many days, I just received my new brand cisco console cable, I plugged it in to my switch and... Unfortunately I got the same result icon_sad.gif

    Seems after all to be a faulty console port?

    Sounds like it. Sorry for your loss, maybe post it back up on eBay as in need of repair. Or use it a door stopper!

    Just never turn up to work / customer site with one of those DIY console cables... ever! icon_lol.gif

    What's happening? And don't you still have telnet access?

    do the pins inside the console port look bent or anything?

    Yes I do, in fact I'm using that switch for a 'mini lab' and gives me 100Mbps through ethernet which is ok

    Don't know, but I'll definitely check that out, thanks for the advice.

    mm not really, looks kind of flawless, what I do notice is that the whole thing moves a bit, don't know if that's normal, but anyways can't hurt to say it I guess.

    I know this thread is a year old, but i just had the same issue with a 2950 (no keyboard input thru hyperterminal) and what fixed it was... ...taking the cover off and wiggling the console ribbon cable where it connects to the main board. Didn't remove it, just moved the ribbon in the connection a bit. Keyboard works great now.
