Today after messing a bit with my arduino I decided to change some code up a bit, only to get an error Serial port 'COM3' not found did you select the right one from the Tools > Serial port menu? , and when I try to go into that Serial port menu it is grayed out.
So I decided to check if I could update the drivers...
The arduino did not even show up on device manager nor does it make a
sound when I plug it inside my computer, at first I thought it was fried but then again
I have not plugged any external power except a USB into it so I can code. It's very weird because it even has the "on" light lit...
On a side note even though all of this happened my arduino can still make my buzzer buzz through POWER 3.3V and GND
here is what I get when I try to compile and upload:
Binary sketch size: 1,096 bytes (of a 32,256 byte maximum)
processing.app.SerialNotFoundException: Serial port 'COM3' not found. Did you select the right one from the Tools > Serial Port menu?

Thank's! btw I heard this could be a problem with the chip 8u4 or something like that, and if you did not guess I am a newby at this, so take it easy please and thanks again!
