I had the same issue when I bought my ECM Link. I had to assign the communication port 3 on my computer to be open. After that I was able to get link to communicate with my laptop. I couldn't tell you off the top of my head where I found the setting on my laptop for the option to do as so. Or it could just be the cable is bad, but try searching around in your laptop. When I get a chance I'll try an remind myself how I got it to work and let you know how I did it.

Are you using a serial to USB adaptor? I had a similar issue and it turned out to be I didnt have the software installed for the USB adaptor. Once I found the right drivers for it it connected just fine. Just a thought.
