Hello,
I would like to test another USB cable but the problem is that Genuinos use USB printer cables which, lucky me, i only have one of and therefore have no way of knowing.
kprims:
No Problems, used pin 10 on the Pro micro for the reset.
As you can tell, I am a noob and don't know what you mean by this; there is already a reset button on the board.
Thanks for the help regarding burning the bootloader, I appreciate it 
.
