can someone help me check?

do you know how glad i am to see your nick online on the forum! is there a manual way of testing if the chip is dead? i don't get you on the part of the where you asked whats between the motor and the chip. If i get you correctly there isnt anything except a link to RB0 from the chip to the motor. Remember the codes i posted on the other discussion where u helped me convert to basic. yeah that is the codes and the schematics are attached here.

you reckon i should get a batch of fresh new chips? oh the other question which i forgot to mentioned (maybe i did) in the first post, is there a difference in the type of chip it uses. In the book it says 16F84 but when i got this batch from the robot store where they sold the parts to make this robot, they sent the 16F84A chip.
