ok, my clock i built a month or 2 back, isnt working. here is the sequence of events: 1. i fit new power connector in clock 2. due to wiring, pic16f876 short circuits inside itself.(confirmed with multimeter, resistance across power pins:0 ohms) 3. i order new pic16f876 4. 16f876 arrives, but when i try and program it, error msg says: No Device ID Recieved. i have tried LVP, in case it left the factory with that as default, but still the same error. it is behaving as if chip isnt there. i also tried ICSP(wires and breadboard), no luck. please can someone help me? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/16f876-tf3941831.html#a11180668 Sent from the PIC - [PIC] mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
