MP 1.3.3 Build 1.1.5256.36415, Win 8.0 ugh
Can connect with 3DR telemetry radio fine.
Cannot connect using USB with radio disconnected.
Tried several cables, USB ports, re-booting with no connect.
APM 2.6 shows power. Worked with a previous MP version, but I do not recall which one.

Trying Auto connect at default baud rate of 115,200 yields error: “Timeout waiting for Autoscan…” and sometimes the window grays out.

Trying “Mega” port at various baud rates yields timeout " No heartbeat…"

Any and all help appreciated.

Genuine 3DR APM 2.6?

Do you have another computer to try? I had a driver issue once that I resolved by re-installing windows. Even after re-installing the FTDI drivers…

Maybe try going to device manager and uninstalling the driver. Then unplug and replug in the device. Its possible the wrong driver got installed.

TVS: Problem resolved - maybe. Turned off computer last night with USB NOT working. Turned on computer this morning and USB works. I did nothing in between (except worry).

StefanG: Yes, second one. First one blew up. Why do you ask?

Because that sounds more like a hardware support issue to me than like a Mission Planner issue. For a genuine 3DR APM, I will move the topic now to the hardware section. For a clone I would have told you to contact the clone manufacturer for hardware support.
