swap with another cable you know that works (just to make sure you rule it out)

see if the dmx lights up on the le, when you run a sequence

I would look at the Opto's and 485 chips since it sounds like you aren't getting output fromt he dongle.  Any bent pins? Are they seated?

since your LE works with the usb dongle, then it might be with what parts output on the eD.   this is as far as i can take you.

I think your eD might have an output issue

Can you take another picture of the top paying close attention to the square pic. I can zoom in with a good picture and see if we need to have you PM RJ.

One thing that I would look at are a few of your resistor values.  Your camera's color capture and/or the lighting used to take these last pictures has a bit to be desired but I think that I can see two resistors that look like the wrong value.  The one is the resistor right under the Magic jack.  The lighting on those two is pretty bad but it doesn't look like a 240 ohm to me.  The other is the resistor right above the smaller SMD chip.  It should also be a 240 ohm and doesn't look like orange yellow brown to me.  It appears that both of the resistors mentioned that you put in are the same value but don't look correct.  Like I said, it's hard to see them in these pictures but it's worth taking a look at.
If at first you don't succeed,
