Error in initializing ST-LINK device. Reason: No device found on target. F103RB

[BadEngineer]

I am using a nucleo-F103RB. This device was functional in the past. 

I am getting an error 

Error in final launch sequence:

Failed to execute MI command:

target remote localhost:61239

Error message from debugger back end:

localhost:61239: Connection timed out.

Failed to execute MI command:

target remote localhost:61239

Error message from debugger back end:

localhost:61239: Connection timed out.

localhost:61239: Connection timed out.

 I have tried different cables to ensure it isn't the issue. I have also changed the port number. 

This is my debugger information: 

I am able to upgrade my stlink chip via cube ide as shown in the image below (it detects it)

I have tried to use the stm32cubeprogrammer application too but that doesn't seem to work. 

I get the below error. 

However i know it is working on COM7 because the last thing i did was create a program to output some information through the USART, which it is still doing (image below). 

I have also attached images of my board.

Maybe you did something, to block the swd , not defined degub in Cube, use swd pins for something else...

to get access :

set debug to hardware reset;

try. If not connect in IDE :

or in cubeProgrammer : set st-link, hardware reset, connect under reset.

Then full erase , to get away the "problem" program.

Is this what you mean?

I have changed the option to this and i still get the same error
