If you didn't get anything on the DCE-2 line it could be caused by:
Wrong serial port selected "correct port selected"
Faulty cable or the programmer is not connected to your computer "Cable belled out pin for pin straight through"
Dead battery or bad power supply connected to the programmer.
"brand new lithium 9v batt reading 9.56vdc under load"
Serial port is faulty on your computer. "modem and serial mouse work fine"
You forgot to set the DTR signal active, the led must be on, otherwise the programmer is not active." when i select dtr on the led doesn't come on"
The programmer is faulty. " only choice left i think"
