I then attempted to clean the contacts on the Fadal's RS232 cable connectors with some alcohol and then pressed the two IDC connectors (the DB25 and the one that goes to the board) to make sure the wires were seated.
I don't know if it was luck , but, I put everything back together and I was sending code to the Fadal again ...like nothing ever happened.
