Have you tried the portcheck.exe program? That's the first test I would run, followed by testing the serial cable.

Each Microsquirt has been tested by me before I send it out. It is possible there is an issue, but before sending it back run the portchecker like Matt indicates, and try different PCs to eliminate this.

Check the serial cable for continuity. Also see if you have 5 volts on the VREF wire on the Microsquirt. What do you find there?
