You can try reflashing the EEPROM, but you'll need to find someone that can do it.
The firmware is here:

That doesnt answer which cable.

Most comms type problems are down to the cable/converter used.

Can you use a proper serial connection to test ?

I would be trying a proper serial cable first, or a different adaptor before trying to mess with EEProms
