Nortel Passport 1648T not loading up. Break Sequence?

[spokeydokey]

Hi folks,

i've got a Passport 1648T second hand. When i try to run it up it does it's POST and loads an image. then the usual box it gives comes up along with the previously configured command prompt. this keeps looping not doing anything else. i've looked around to find a suitable break sequence of <esc> which ufortunately does nothing.

below is a clip of the output;

It sounds like your bootcode is probably corrupt.

that looks to be the case, i got some help showing the break sequence of "SHIFT 3". then found the appropriate software, i'll know in a minute if this fixes it.

thanks hungryhouse,

i've managed to update the image a couple of times, however the loop still occurs, just showing a different image. looks like searching the bootcode will be my option now.
