I don't see what this has to do with programming it?

What are the LEDs on the RC doing? I had a problem like this, it seemed to be trapped in program mode and wouldn't respond, booting just the master processor. Hold PROG and RESET for about 15 seconds, then release RESET. You should get a green power light, an orange program state light, and three dark LEDs. I may have reversed the procedure to release the buttons, if it doesn't work, try releasing PROGRAM instead of RESET...
