ESP-201 Will not Flash Firmware

All my other ESP8266 boards work, a couple of Nodemcu's and three ESP-01's. I have searched the Web looking at many different posts including this one:
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2431
which is on this forum.

I connect the pins the same way specified in that post and am using ESP8266Flasher to flash teh firmware to the board. I have even tried switching the Rx and Tx pins going to the eBay FTDI USB-to-serial. Nothing works. I wonder if I ruined the board with an ESD while I was working on the small development board I built for it. The COM port shows up but the ESP8266Flasher does not immediately show as uploading firmware or even show that a connection has been made.

The dev board is a 3.3 V power supply, an IO breakout board section where the ESP-201 plugs in to provide access to the IO's and the power, ground, and Rx and Tx.

Any ideas on how to find out if there is something else I should do to get it working?
