Change out your cable from the wall drop to the phone. A Cisco phone is capable of receiving inline power (Power Over Ethernet) via the blue and brown pairs of the cable. It sounds like you may have a cable with a short in either the brown or blue, or both pairs, shorting out the power when it is connected via ethernet.

If you can, have your IT Tech check the cable, and the line through the wall to the switch.

Hi,

the reason for this would be that it is not getting it's config from the CallManager (or CME router).

The steps in a phone booting up something like this:
1) DHCP for IP Address, and Option 150 for TFTP Server
2) TFTP to address provided by DHCP Option 150
3) Get config file, a(an upgrade of firmware may occur at this point)
4) Connect to Call Manager/CME as specified in config file

First check DHCP server to see if it is allocating an address to the MAC address of the phone
Second confirm if DHCP is providing Option 150 and that is the IP Address of the TFTP Server (typically one of your Call Managers)
Third check that the phone is correctly configured on CCM/CME. A common error at this stage is that the phone is configured with the wrong model type.

Call back if you get to that stage and are still having problems.

Cheers, Simmo99.

Do I need to buy a software license for WS-C2960S-48FPS-L?

No. WS C2960S 48FPS uses the Universal image, but no license is required. The feature is bound to the hardware model type and cannot be changed. For convenience, a single software image is used for all Cisco Catalyst 2960-S Series Switches, regardless of whether they are a LAN Base or LAN Lite model.

I would check your duplex settings. Often, if you hard code the duplex settings or have a mis-match; one end may not talk properly. Also, have you tested the wiring? Do you know the ethernet is okay for sure? TechRx, Inc. - techrxgb.com

Cisco IP phone 7941-- No power on the phone just a blank screen after I installed a headset, I did unplug the headset but is not coming back on.I also tried a new Ethernet cable but no luck. What can I do...

Is the phone connected to a POW (Power Over Ethernet)Cisco Switch? Check the model number of the switch with the Cisco web site www.cisco.com

Have you check whether there is power available on the switch?
enter "show power inline" at the command prompt.

Does the phone work without the head set?
Does the same thing happen when you plug in the head set on another phone?

''!!! WARNING: The switch is not usable !!!''

Unfortunately the show stack isn't showing any results other than it is either a hardware or software fault. I am guessing it is a fault with the hardware as the show version in your first post states "interface Ethernet-controller 4 failed POST POST error status : general error occured".

Ethernet-controller 4 is one if the gigabit ports (poss fibre port), so if you have anything attached to those, disconnect and reboot the switch and see what happens. If that doesn't work, you could try reinstalling the IOS, but at a guess I would say its a hardware fault.
