Dear listers, My ICD3 is dead, it doesn't recognize the PIC when connected to the target boards. The test using the supplied dongle fails also. Once I read somewhere that Microchip has a lifetime replacement policy for development tools. I searched Microchip's site and didn't find anything about it. I will open a ticket in their support page, but last time I did so it took three months until somebody replied just to ask if I still needed support :) Does anybody know if this policy is still active? I found the schematic on the Internet, but the circuit is complex and it could take a lot of time (which I don't have) to find the problem. For now I'm using my PICKIT3, but it is very slow.
