Bricked Nortel BPS 2000

[Mtaccs]

Hello,
I have 2 Nortel BPS 2000's
both are not in a stack, neither of them are functional. (one hangs up on boot whle decompressing agent image. i can do Ctrl + c to that menu.
the other automatically goes to the Ctrl + c menu, but wont accept any key strokes.
neither will complete the boot cycle.

the only access i have to configure them is through the console port.

any help or advice would be very much appreciated.

It sounds like you might be able to clear the flash on one of the BPS2000 units. I believe the option is "i";

Press 'i' to Initialize config/log flash

If you can try that and see if it boots you may need to re-download the agent firmware over the console interface.

Have a look at this post and see if it helps any;
