Opened Device Manager, Ports (COM & LPT) "USB-SERIAL CH340(COM3)"
I've always used COM 3 and it worked fine until last Wednesday.

Chuck,
Have you tried the following?
open device manager, and seeing which com ports show, and then unplug the cable, and see which one disappears, so you can select that port in Chirp.
HTH.

thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, no luck.

I forgot that you are on Windows.  The windows OS is very poor supporting USB.  You might try going into the device manager and tell it to show hidden devices.  Once that is done, look at the USB entries and delete all of them that are diminished icons.  That is, they are lighter than the other icons.

Good luck.

hi, still no luck.
I went to the web site and put a death-grip on the plug and held it in as far as it would go. I trimmed a hair of the edges of the plug to let it seat on the bottom.

thanks for the suggestions

On Wednesday my 2 BaoFeng UV 5R radios could download and upload to CHIRP. 

On Friday all I got was the following message:  Radio Did Not Respond.

I tried reloading the latest version of CHIRP, no change.  I tried an earlier version of CHIRP, no change. I reloaded the latest version back, no change.  Visually the radio's red light blinks then the LED display blinks then the error message shows up on CHIRP.

 

Any suggestions?

Thanks Chuck KJ7INT
