What i always do; 

1.check "jtagconfig" in command prompt.see if both cable and boards are not being detected.or its only the board. 

2.if both are not,most probably caused by the driver. Try to reinstall ur driver.or if u have other usb cable plugged in to ur port,remove them all.leave only this usb connecting to the board. 

3.if it is only the board,try connecting with other board.if others work..then the board is the problem.see if you can set all the setting back to factory default(if it is a dev kit)

Do you have other C3 board to try out? Just to isolate if it is something wrong specific to that particular board.

Did someone used your board while you are gone?  

 

Well I would normally try to check all button and switches to make sure there are either in the default settings or atleast my settings. Also try restarting my PC, for some reason the programmer will sometimes not be able to detect my usb jtag if I do not restart my PC.  

 

If you can detect ur USB and not your device... then try with other board if you have any.
