I have been trying to get it to work again without any luck. This is the third time I had to get the blaster working so I have done it successfully twice, not sure why it is not working this time.

Well, if you can't load lirc_zilog, the blaster is never going to work.
Perhaps you could provide the actual error messages surrounding the
driver load failure? Console *and* dmesg output required. Knowing your
kernel version and distro would help too.
