arduino uno smd r2: avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00

Hi
I found the dot. I will try
see my set up as before as attachment.

I tried with a cable I configured from old PC remains.
I connected #5 to pin 10 of the programming boad as well.

I get the same result.
I figured that "confirm" is always "0", so it never will match "programAcknowledge" to leave the loop.
when I forced the loop to be left, it says "unrecognized signature".

Ah, something is different. When I press "reset" on either boards, the loop starts again (with the same result) and LED 13 flickers as well on the dead board, like it should at reset. BUT not as bright.
