The error LED doesn't flash to indicate that there is a problem at all, but there is obviously a problem if it can't program. Several people have tryed to getting it to work but no sucess. We think it is a defective one, but if you know otherwise tell me.

Thanks,

The instructions are a little bit confusing - the error LED will "blink off," then one second later, the CMD0 LED comes on. So, you shouldn't be expecting the error LED to come back on like a "full blink cycle" or anything like that. Is your CMD0 LED coming on 1 second after you release the PRGM button? Just don't be expecting the error LED to come back on again after it goes off....
