There is a fix for this problem - enter bootloader mode - disconnect the PIC-KIT3 from the USB press and hold the small black button (programmer-to-go button) connect the PIC-KIT3 to the USB release the button. It happens more frequently when you often change the versions of MPLAB that you use (the latest PIC-KIT3 firmware versions in MPLAB 8 differ a lot from the latest PIC-KIT3 firmware versions in MPLAB X or MPLAB IPE). The firmware update might fail due to different reasons. This problem might appear after a failed firmware update.After this the PIC-KIT3 gets listed with exlcamation mark in "Windows Device Manager" and reports the error - "This device cannot start. Hello, I attempted to use PIC-KIT3 and then the connection failed.
Note that such a cable is not included in the package. All PC USB hosts have a USB-A connector while the PIC-KIT3 has a USB-B connector so the cable should be a USB A-to-B type. You should have a USB type A-B cable to connect to a PC.
