Hi:

I called microchip this morning and they do have a replacement program 
and will be sending a replacement.

The power LED is coming on.  A scope at Y1 shows 25 MHz (I thought a 
crystal was the most fragile thing here), so the xtal seems OK.
A look at all the parts under a microscope shows nothing abnormal.  The 
traces for the DB-9 connector are hidden between the PCB and connector.  
The PUM was not fully seated, but removing and reinstalling it did not 
change anything.  So it will be going back to Microchip once the 
replacement arrives.

I was experiencing problems bringing up the ICD2 and as part of that 
troubleshooting process came across DS51417B "Uninstalling Incorrect USB 
Drivers" and after snooping around using the Registry search discovered 
that there were a bunch of Microchip items registered in the directory 
for my ATI video interface.  On the phone this morning I learned that 
these can be removed by cleaning the registry using the tool:
program files\Microchip\MPLAB IDE\Utilities\MpUsbClean\MpUsbClean.exe    
Now the ICD2 will program my parts.  Still learning how to use it for 
debugging, which will come in handy.

Have Fun,

Brooke Clarke
