ecuflash error-cannot read or write, interface closed

It was working fine before and was able to flash and read, all of a sudden it stopped working. Car can start without any problem so I guess the ECU is not bricked, here is the error msg:

That's about it, just says interface closed...
Anyone have any recommendations on how to solve this?
I have already tried to reinstall ecuflash it did not help

Thanks a lot!

Update: Fixed the problem by doing 3 things:
1. Hooked up a battery charger while read/flash
2. Bend the pin on Tactrix OBD slightly towards the center (inward), like Steve mentioned in his post
3. Waited 20 seconds after pwr on b4 pressing OK on ecuflash
