I bought the pickit 2 from microchip and I cannot get it to work. I am using a PIC16F628A and every time I try to write a file to it it says "Verify Failed" and the program never works. It also says that the chip is not blank, even though I have erased it 300 times. I am using the v1.21 for the software and v1.2 for the firmware because v1.21 is worse than v1.2 (I actually was able to write to my PIC twice with v1.2 firmware...although it no longer works). Please help!! (Should I return it...?)
