Quoting "Stephen D. Barnes" : > I have an ICD3 (R23) that will not release the target chip from reset. > While in reset, it holds the MCLR at 0V.

Does anyone have > suggestions as to what may have failed in the ICD2 to cause this? Does this happen when the ICD2 is connected to the target, or even when it's not connected? IIRC, Microchip will replace the hockey puck free of charge.
