I have been using my new PICSTART PLUS programmer for two days and have experienced the following problem persistently untill the PICSTART PLUS will not operate at all: After a number of successful programming cycles I disconnect the PICSTART PLUS dc power lead. When I return to work and reconnect the dc power lead the power on indicator does not light and MPLAB can not establish communications with the PICSTART PLUS. I measure 9Vdc on the power supply output plug. Any ideas?
