Ski,

Hmm. I am not yet familiar with the OSC parameter settings.
I did the LED test without any of the additional DEFINE and @ statements beside the ones that I posted.
I waited 5-10 minutes for the LED to light up on pin 6. But the chip and bottom of the bread board were getting hot so I pulled the power off.


I just checked again. I think that I might have really burned my chip this time.
I placed the voltmeter on 0 and +5V, and I would read +5v. But the moment I connect my +5v cable to VDD (pin 14). The voltmeter reading would drop to 1.67v?
