Just to double-check: please discharge the motherboard completely by
trying to turn it on while there is no power adapter connected, then
unite three grounds (KB9012 / programmer / motherboard ) and only then
connect the board's power adapter . After doing all that, please check
if you could read it now. Also, what if your issues are programmer
related? Is it possible for you to try another programmer, like CH341A
? (because it costs like $2-$3 with free shipping from china, just
prefer to get a green PCB version because there were some 3.3/5V
issues with some black PCB CH341A , and blue PCB version costs the
same low price while having fewer pins) Or maybe you could get it
locally for a (hopefully) small premium if you're in hurry
