These were the DLLs that fixed the 2.05 problem, and I also include the DLLs that are current, and working, with 2.30.

You need to put one in your Windows\System32 and the other in your Windows\Syswow64: the subdirectory structure within the zip file will make it clear which one is which.

Save your old DLLs with an appropriate rename!

One further test is that as I remember it, Pickit 3 worked perfectly with the old MPLAB 8.92, it was just the MPLAB X nonsense that didn't.

The bad DLLs were:

Code: [Select]
Directory of C:\Windows\System32
14/01/2014  20:18           243,200 USBAccessLink.dll

Directory of C:\Windows\syswow64
14/01/2014  20:18           199,680 USBAccessLink.dll

Too many green arrows  :)  Have you clicked ' Refresh Debug tool status ' (round arrows) on the dashboard side bar ...

Found 5 :) Now I understand which one you ment :)

When clicking "refresh debug tool status" I get another "Connection Failed" message after a while.

Pictures...
I didn't take it apart.
I turned it on.

The only stupid question is, well, most of them...

Save a fuse...Blow an electrician.

So MPLABX can resolve the serial number but not connect for other comms ?   is your "PK3"  in the win 7 Device manager as 'HID-compliant device' and 'USB input device ' (2 entries)

The problem is solved :)

I found the solution in the last post of this tread: http://www.electro-tech-online.com/threads/pickit-3-windows-7-64-bit-mplab-ide-issues.141424/

-I ran MPLAB 8.92 as Administrator. (Probably would have worked in MPLAB X and as normal user too.)
-I unplugged the PK3, pressed the button on it and held it while connecting usb again, then released the button.
-A dialog poped up asking to update the firmware, which it then did.

The PK works in MPLAB now. (Both v8.92 and MPLAB X v2.26).

If I try with the standalone programmer software I get this message: "The PICkit 3 is in MPLAB mode. Use the tools menu to download an OS compatible with this application."

Thank you to everyone who helped me with this.

Well done! Can't ever remember having to do that on a PK3, but I may be mistaken.
