I finished constructing my very simple PCB and PICKIT 2 is not working
with it. When I plug it in, PICKIT2 says:

PICKIT2 VPP voltage level error.
Check  target & retry operation.

So I rebuilt the exact circuit on a breadboard and it worked.

Here is the schematic: http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/617/schematic.png

Here is the board: http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/6794/boardq.png

The only variations I did were that I changed the value of the
polarized capacitor around (1 uF, 100 uF) and changed the value of the
resistors around (1K, 10K) during breadboard prototyping and it didn't
make a difference and everything still worked.

On the PCB, I replaced the 470 ohm resistor with a 1K and the 10 uF
electrolytic cap with a 1 uF electrolytic cap. On a breadboard, these
values worked, so I don't know why the PCB one isn't working.

Any ideas?
