Just for grins, try this.  When you click the upload button, the IDE
compiles the code first.

Try hitting the reset button on your arduino board while the code is
compiling.  It might not help, but then again, it might.  I have one Uno
that for whatever reason will not accept a sketch unless I reset it right
before the upload starts, while it is compiling...
