Are you using the Cisco blue serial cable?

It sounds like it's the way you are connecting the console cable to your computer. Have you tried using com1 to connect to other equipment to see if it works?

Yes my dads 32 bit system with an integrated serial port attached to the motherboard. The same blank screen appears.

Have you tried other BAUD rates? sometimes people like to xmodem an IOS onto a switch and change the BAUD rate for faster transfers. Could possibly be set to 115200 not 9600.

Oh yes I have and made sure that device manager com 1 port settings match exactly the settings in putty. I still have the same blank screen.

Hi,
Please share the emulator settings for review. Also, if you can get access to your switch via telnet or ssh then please share the output of sh run | s line command for review. Finally, if you can reboot your switch while keeping the console windows opend and advice if you see any character soon after the reboot.
Regards | Aref.

Wrong forum, it will be moved. And the same question has been asked here so read the other thread as well.

I would recommend to use serial to USB converter so you will be able just to leave your serial port and uses console cable to USB port. use putty as software and don't forget to install serial-USB driver.

I ordered one on ebay when it comes this week Ill try it and let you know if it works. Win 7 and putty probably don't work good together on seing my serial port I have now .
