Newbie asking foer help woth pic and programmer

[sunnie]

I hope that someone can help me here

I have a Kit 149 Version B Pic Programmer
I have dloaded the reqiuired file as per the instructions
I ran the programmer and software as per the instructions and
with a chip i think maybe zapped with static i got he following results

When i put the chip in to the progammer and verify i get
ROM DATA
3fff at every address
EEPROM DATA
FF at every address

When i do an erase
ROM Programming error at address 0x0001
Verify = ROM error at 0x0000
Good 0x1e03
Bad 0x3fff
When i blank the chip i get an error stating ID FUSE programming error

So i put a new chip in ad made sure that i used an appropiate tool and i was
able to get the rom data and the eeprom data to show 0000 in all the
addresses
I then was able to verify and clear the chip with no problems
When i went to program the chip i got the same error as above
ROM Programming error at address 0x0001

Have i comiled the file in a wrong compiler
Have i not put in an address range
Or is it a programmer error
Would love to get some positive feedback on this
and yes i do know the dfference between

So i have gone and bought a new pic chip and yes it is a 16f84
And i followed the instructions and i get the same error message as before

ROM Programming error at address 0x0001

sunnie,
A quick search indicates your kit originates from this site -
http://www.kitsrus.com/upuc.html#k149 (sells via various resellers)
There is some documentation PDF files there and various versions of software
to download - you probably need the latest version (diypack7) and the
documentation has an email address for the designer - probably best you
contact him.

Hi there,

As a stupid test, try removing the 16F84 from the programmer. Then try
the read, verify and erase commands. My guess will be that the
software will still return what appear to be valid responses even
though the chip is not present.
I have tried 3 different programmers (both serial and parallel), 7
different 16F84's and 5 different software programmers all to no
avail.
It would be interesting to know what PC and operating system you are
using.
I have been unable to program ANY 16F84's as yet.
By the way, one programmer was homebrew, one was a JDM kit and the
third is a fully assembled commercial device (Altronix AL-700).

If you find the problem, for gods sake let me know before I give up on
PICs altogether.

Have you made sure RB7 and RB6 are disconnected from rest of circuit while
programming (but still connected to data and clock lines)?

I dont know much about this stuff.but that was a lesson I learnt.....thought
id pass it on incase it helps
