I once came across an early generation CAT 1900 that had a similar problem. Here is a quick sanity check item to do. Go ahead and get a known working cable that can read the console line on a router. Once you have verified that this is good, put the same cable on the switch (unless it is an old style DB- 9 console connection), and hold in the mode button and see if you can get the diagnostic console. If you can, press the menu choices that will boot the switch. If it starts to boot and then it hangs, that is a sure sign that you will need that "special" console cable that came from Cisco. The best recommendation is to find the part number for Cisco's cable and order it from a VAR.
