A big mistake I have noticed with these (and I did it my first time) is that just becasue the 2 blue and 1 green LED is on doesn't mean the chip is alighed correctly. If the D0 is contacted you will get green but you don't need to make all of the other connections to get the blues.
I would keep trying before I sent the chip back as being bad.
