Hi!,
A common problem is (for newbies in AVR =) ) that AVRs need a running
oscillator even for programming their flash. So if you tried to program the
AVR with no crystal attached to the osc pins, this could be the answer.
Anyway, afaik the Atmel flash programmer utility will detect the
microcontroller type; this could be a good test to check if the hw is fine.
Really, the AVR only needs the power supply voltage (something that is easy
to test), the four wires from the PC parallel port (also pretty easy to
test, even if there's a bus driver chip in the programmer hw), and the
crystal to the oscillator pins of the microcontroller (I'd use some 3-4Mhz
for programming, but probably even 8-10Mhz should be fine). If they're O.K.,
and nothing else hooks pins on the microcontroller, it's pretty supposed to
work.
