Altera USB Blaster, Rev C for programming. I have moved this USB blaster to another computer, same issue. Another blaster was put on this computer, same setup, worked.

Is there any way to get this blaster to work?

Hi LJen1,

The error message 209012 can be caused by one of the following situations:

Communications cables not securely connected
Incorrect device selected
No power to target system

Have you try command "jtagconfig' your new USB Blaste device? and, please show me the screenshot of jtagconfig.

open Command Prompt ---> go to Quartus directory <Quartus installation directory>intelFPGA\18.1\quartus\bin64> ---> run jtagconfig

Cheers
