Problem in setting up the reset circuit for AT89C51ED2

Hi,

I am trying to program an AT89C51ED2 using FLIP and am always getting an timeout error.
I have observed that the voltage on the reset pin always stays at about 4V. The connections are
below:
-> EA is connected to VCC
-> PSEN is pulled down to ground with a 1K resistor using a push button switch.
The connections for the reset pin as follows:
VCC--10uF cap-- Reset Pin

The data sheet mentions that the reset pin has an internal pull down resistor to VSS therefore
I did not add a pulldown resistor to the reset pin.

Even after adding a pulldown resistor of 10K to the reset pin the voltage at the reset pin
always stays at logical high. What should I look into?
PS: I have followed the appropriate steps as mentioned in the Datasheet to enter into the Bootloader ISP mode(Set PSEN to low and apply a RESET).
Thanks in advance.
