Dell PowerConnect 6248 Console/Web lost access

Hello,

I am having issues with 2x PowerConnect 6248 (oldies) that are in a rack far away.
Out of nowhere, the console on both switches is not working anymore, just a black screen, no response. Tried all common baudrates, parity bits, flow control, different console cables, converters, laptops, nothing works.

The strange this is, is that the username & password we are sure that should work, are not working anymore. "Username or password invalid".

Never enabled SSH access on them, so that's not an option.
I don't dare to restart them, in case they will not boot anymore.

Is it possible that the on-board storage of those switches have died and that they are not working correctly anymore?

Any suggestions?
