IC F3021T programming issue

[Spitzair]

Hello,
First time post here so please bear with me... The company I work for recently purchased 4 Icom F3021T radios. I'm trying to program/clone them with the computer and one won't communicate with the computer while the others will. This one particular radio says "No answer from Transceiver" whenever I try to read or write info from it. Otherwise it works fine and can be face programmed no problem... I'm using a 9 pin serial cable and running windows XP on my computer. I've tried different cables, turning the radio on before and after plugging the cable in and nothing works. Has anybody got any suggestions?
Thanks!

Do you know if the company purchased them new, or repackaged?
Did they buy them from an Authorized Icom Dealer, or one of those online non-authorized websites?
If they got them new from an authorized dealer, I would just send it back for a new one.
If not, then I had a radio like that once. I had to torque the pin of the programming cable sideways while I was read/writing to it. I figured that the solder on that plug had broke after many years of abuse. By torquing it sideways, it was able to make connection on the pc board inside the radio, just enough for me to get it programmed.
Hey, I bought it for $20 at Dayton hamfest one year, and that was the only thing wrong with it.

I've seen a couple of 3061s that you have to press the button above the PTT and P0 and turn the radio on to get into Dealer mode to read and write to the radio. Give that a try.
