vu zero dead white led blinks 3 times - no flash possible

I have configured the rs232 cable in the right way. i have used the pdf uploaded here.
Furthermore i use a prolific usb seriell cable, which functions without a problem with other receivers.
For testing purposes i have taken an other zero from a friend and there is rs232 output with this rs232 cable and prolific usb seriell cable.
So how can i flash the cfe in zero without usb port ???
I'm curios to see photos of your box (top and back) and same from the box of your friend who had a Zero with a RS232 standard output .....
 
there is rs232 output with this rs232 cablel


I think you are not reading correctly. He built the RS232 interface for the Zero from the .pdf file which he attached. He says that he gets output or data from the RS232 port on his friends Zero. He gets not data at all from the RS232 from his Zero. He does not say that the Zero has a standard or regular RS232 port.
 
locate boot loader chip on board, probably 4mb chip ( Winbond or MXIC mostly ) and replace with newly programmed chip, this might solve the issue.
