FBV MKII Express doesn't work...

I bought a brand new MKII Express on amazon, factory sealed, and plugged it into my Spider III 75 and it doesn't seem to be working. I tried calibrating it, and i got the 1, 2, 3, and 4 on the LED screen when i went through each of the steps, then pressed D to accept. Then when i turn the amp off and back on, none of the buttons work, the vol/wah pedal doesn't work and none of the LED lights are on except for the blinking tempo light, that's it. I am getting very frustrated and have been searching for hours for answers.
I even tried upgrading to the latest softward, and did so successfully, and the MKII Express still doesn't work with my amp. Someone help me out please. What else do I need to do to get this thing to work? I spend a lot of money on this item and not getting any benefit from it whatsoever other than losing hours of my life researching this online. HELP!
The usual cause for this is a bad CAT5 connection - either the cable or the plugs/jacks. If you have access to another cable, you could try that (make sure it is not a 'cross' style CAT5 cable! Sometimes the little pins in the jack get bent.
Great -fixed the problem right away thanks so much.
Although its weird, was using the CAT 5 that came in the box, figured that would work right?
Thanks again for your help - much appreciated.
