title: Pickit 3 Connection Failed
body: <p>I have been unable to connect to my Pickit 3 through MPLab IPE.
  As background, I was never able to download or debug from MPLab X, usually I build the project on MPLab X and download it through the IPE.</p>
  
  <p>Right now the only error showing up is "Connection Failed"</p>
  
  <p>The Pickit3 Serial Number is being detected though, both on the IDE and the IPE.</p>
  
  <p>Things I have already tried:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>Connect Pickit 3 through an external powered USB Hub (3.0 and 2.0), this worked for about 2 weeks, then it suddenly failed again</p></li>
  <li><p>Run as Administrator</p></li>
  <li><p>Uninstall everything:
  IDE, IPE, USB drivers (from device manager), even compilers (just in case)</p></li>
  <li><p>Run on Safe Mode</p></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I have tried on another PC, the Pickit seems fine as it is recognized and can download programs to a MCU</p>
  
  <p>My PC's specs:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>Acer Veriton M4630G</p></li>
  <li><p>Windows 7 Professional 64-bit SP 1</p></li>
  <li><p>Intel i7-4770</p></li>
  <li><p>8GB RAM</p></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Using PIC32MX460F512L</p>
  
  <p>Any help would be really appreciated</p>
