No i really meant far... not a mile away.. few inches 6-12 inches. i had some issue like that before on breadboard when a programmer was to close of the PIC... kind of interference or sort of...

It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
There's no problem, only learning opportunities.

At first it was about 6-12 inches of combined cables and traces, now 4-6 inches, no difference.
So I got another unit and soldered thru-hole components directly onto the legs and everything worked fine for several programming cycles. At least I know the programmer can indeed program a 16F628A SOIC in-circuit (not that it should make any difference from a PDIP unit).
I will replace the oscillator and capacitors on the circuit. If that doesn't make a difference I will solder this 'working' unit onto the circuit.

My Creality Ender 3 S1 Plus is a giant paperweight that can't even be used as a boat anchor, cause I'd be fined for polluting our waterways with electronic devices.

By the time I removed the 'working' 16F628A from the temporary circuit I totally forgot about the plan to replace the oscillator first.
I removed the unworking 16F628A from the circuit and put in the tested unit and everything fired up as expected. I was able to reprogram it several times too, so no idea what was the exact cause of the problem.
