Does the LED on the Board lights up at least?

yea power LED is on. also
13 led is continuously on

i m planing to buy ARDUINO DUE,
can i program UNO using DUE ??
bcoz due has many RX/TX pairs..

THANKS BUDDY IN ADVANCE

swap out the 328 chip with another 328 chip with a known good bootloader on it ,thats what i would do

knuckles,
Could you give a link to a 328 chip with a "known good bootloader on it"? I'm having the same problem as koolasg. All of a sudden my computer doesn't recognize my Uno Rev 3.

Problem solved...I bought a new UNO and new cable and the computer recognized it. A box popped up on the screen and asked if I wanted to use COM7...I said yes and it worked.

WOOO. what ? i v to buy a new arduino ?

Then only it will work?

But! But What is the problem ?? with MY UNO ???
