Hi,

Is there a way to determine if a PIC is damaged? On two PIC's I have the
following symptoms:

- When I put it in programming mode I can read from it (can verify that =
the
chip id is a 16f628).
- I cannot write anything to it. (writing and then verifying the written
data always fails)
- I have three 16F628's. Two out of the three always exhibit the above
behaviour, the other one works fine.
- This started to happen after trying to build a wisp628 on stripboard
(which I probably messed up, its my first stripboard project ;-) Before
trying to use the 'new' wisp628 all the PIC's worked fine. I'm still =
having
problems with this programmer, but the original one I built on =
solderless
breadboard still works fine and that=92s the one I'm using for the above
tests.

PS: Yes, I'm going to order a Wisp628 kit from Wouter as soon as I sort =
out
method of payment from South Africa ;-)
