However, when debugging these devices the header must be used. The header board is not used or needed for programming. This special MCU has extra pins for PICkit 3 communication and therefore allows the use of all pins on the part for the application. Some 8-, 14-, and 18-pin devices use small header boards with a special MCU for debugging.

The MPLAB PICkit 3 is connected to the design engineer's PC using a full speed USB interface and can be connected to the target via a Microchip debug (RJ-11) connector (compatible with MPLAB ICD 2, MPLAB ICD 3, and MPLAB REAL ICE). The MPLAB PICkit 3 allows debugging and programming of PIC and dsPIC ® Flash microcontrollers at a most affordable price point using the powerful graphical user interface of the MPLAB X Integrated Development Environment (IDE). It should be used for development purposes only. The PICkit 3 in-circuit debugger/programmer is not a production programmer. The PICkit 3 can also reprogram any PIC ® microcontroller with a simple push of a button. Expensive sockets or adapters are also not required. In-circuit debugging offers benefits including low cost and a minimum of additional hardware needed for debug. If you have any advice, please share it with me.Microchip’s PICkit™ 3 in-circuit debugger/programmer uses in-circuit debugging logic incorporated into each chip with Flash memory to provide a low-cost hardware debugger and programmer. Based on what you say, I think I have already done the firmware re-installation, as I have tried to program PICs from different families and I even recall the PICkit downloading the new firmware for them. If the PICkit really doesnt have onvervoltage protection, then it will most certainly be a hardware problem, unfortunately. However, I would expect such a programmer to have overvoltage protection on its inputs, so I'm not sure if this could really have killed it. Dear JPortici, Thank you very much for your answer. Do you know any way I could possibly fix this? Could it be some driver/firmware issue I could solve without replacing the unit or do you think I have to buy a new one? One thing that could have casued the problem is that the supply voltage in my target circuit rose to 20 V from the regular 5 V for a couple of seconds while the PICkit was connected. At this point I'm pretty sure that the issue is with my PICkit3. Here's some additional info: - Connections to the target device are certainly correct - The chips I'm trying to program are not faulty, as I could program them with another programmer (not a PICkit, however, but a cheap ZIF-socket plug-in programmer) - The PICkit seems to work otherwise, i.e its LEDs flash, MPLAB recognizes it and reads its serial number, etc. reads all 1's for the Device ID and then it fails to program the chip. Please check your connections to the Target Device." For any other PIC I have tried so far, it does the same, i.e. Currently loaded firmware on PICkit 3 Firmware Suite Version.01.43.35 Firmware type.PIC18F Target voltage detected Target Device ID (0xffe0) is an Invalid Device ID. For example, when I'm trying to program a PIC18F1320, then from MPLABX, it gives me the following error message: "Connecting to MPLAB PICkit 3. For some reason, my PICkit3 cannot program any PIC. Dear Forum Members, I'd need your advice with an issue with my PICkit3.
