A couple questions...
1) Does the light on the IR tower flash when you're trying to communicate?
Yes, it flashes.

Generally, that means the IR tower is working.  It's possible the tower has become
broken, while it sat in a closet, but that's not very likely.

So, knowing things worked before, you may be forgetting something.

Make sure the memory is cleared.
(1) remove batteries with RCX ON
(2) reinstall batteries.
This process has always worked for me.

Next, try downloading the firmware again.  It takes about 5 minutes.

Keep track of
(1) how long the download program takes to respond
(2) what it says when it's finished

Report back...

Good Luck
Steve
