I've got an 837 SOHO router with some old config. Once the image is decompressed console output ceases. I thought it was just a baud rate change in the config and so I initially just poked through the different standard baud rates with no luck. Then I tried the old confreg 0x2142 NVRAM bypass; Same problem. After a bit of Googling I thought that maybe my cookie was bad, it wasn't. At this point, I'm out of ideas. Here's the output.

Thought of doing that but wanted to post here before hand just in case. Will do now but I'll use TFTP, much faster.

hopefully its just IOS corruption I have had few issues with 800 series just breaking after a while and stop working I suppose changing software will let you know pretty quick if its hardware or not
