You may need the driver for your lead, search on here for USB to rs232 driver , download the driver and install.

Use Renny's IFA Portable v3.1 m8.

This works 99.9% first time every time with just the ethernet cable ONLY!!

Set your pc network card to 10baseT_halfduplex or 10halfmode
give it a static ip of 192.168.1.201 subnet 255.255.255.0
disable antivirus,firewalls and any other networkcards including wireless
turn box on start ifa start flash process then turn box off then on again see if it says flashing in the lcd.
