Default "Vehicle not responding" X 3

Trying tp scan my car - 94/M6 - with my Autoxray 6000. Scanner keeps reading"vehicle not responding" Good batteries and scanner is up to date. WTH? Took the car to my local mechanic that I trust and both of his scanners are saying the same thing. Now I'm confused and he says he'll have to look into the issue deeper. All I want to do is figure out if my "Code 41" is coming back or not. May have to resort to the paper clip method, but would really like to fix the scanner issue .
Any suggestions?

Is the key on while trying to scan? Not running but the car ready to start? Check for a bent pin in your interface cable. Make sure your are lining up the slot with the line in the ALDL port. Get a flashlight and make sure your hitting ALL the pins. GC

Wow the possiblity of a bad ALDL port only remains with three different scanners and three differnet cables. Paperclip time
