Well...the details are....



PIC port B driving the gate of the 2VN2222, with a 10K pull down.  Getting a logic hi when it drives, so I'm sure the PIC is doing its thing right.

The CD player is a button, assuming that one side is pulled up and the other is pulling to ground (did find a low impedance path to ground on one side).  If I short the two wires together, then it works fine, so no problem on the wiring to the switch.

Perhaps the problem lies in the Vgs?  I have 5V driving the gate, but maybe if the source voltage is wrong, then it might not be working right?  I've swapped drain/source also to the switch, and verified that I have that right (in one case it oscillates, the other case nothing happens)
