Is your PIC soldered or are you using a socket?

Are you sure about the orientation of your PIC?

I can program it with a pick it 2 using its pro maker to go function,so I'm sure the mcu is ok,I'm using a adaptor bought from RS components and I've checked the connection,is all ok,and the PIN number is correctl
