Do you have .net 3.5 installed?
Do you have Portio32 installed?

Are the connections 100% around the correct way?

Please give as much information as you can (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Have you selected the correct com port?  Are there drivers needed for CK3?

Is the light not meant to be green?  I haven't used a CK3, but I know they are crucial on the connections being correct.  Bad serial is the probe side of things, not the sata side.

There has to be a dodgy connnection on the probe.  Run a USB/Serial loopback test?

If you're using the USB connection on the CK3 Pro, the loopback test won't actually prove anything (sorry guys). The loopback test is for testing COM ports on computers, whereas this is just a USB to USB connection.

Double check in device manager to ensure you have the correct COM port (I'm sure you've already done this).

It's already been asked by chorizo1, but ensure the drive is in the correct configuration:

Push the eject button on the CK3 to eject the tray.
Push it again but turn off the CK3 before it closes.
Turn the CK3 on again (tray should still be half-out).

You need the drive like this for dumping the key. If it fails, you need to repeat the steps to put it back into the right mode.

You must listen to the one with two first names, he knows his stuff. Is your power cable from your ck3 attached correctly to your dvd drive? If it was ever connected incorrectly, you might have a fried drive.

Highly doubtful. Not a lot to a probe to get messed up. Have you done Martinchris23 suggestion?

I'm sure people will come to this thread after a Google search about the green light problem. I know I did. So, before you go buy a whole new CKv3 or Probe hear me out.

The USB capability for the CKv3 is faulty. I was about to order a whole new Probe, but before I did I tried the serial cable connection. It worked. Please try a serial cable before you go out and spend a lot of money on more hardware. This post might be the answer you were looking for on Google.
