When i wanted to update the Pickit firmware, i choose a bad Hex code (probably a compiled program or else i don't want to remind) so i screw the Pickit 2. He was totally dead, no more USB connection etc etc etc.

So i surfed the provided CD, and discovered they shipped the source code for it... but not the compiled .Hex file. So i just open the Bootloader project and recompile it with C18 to have the .Hex to be able to dump it in via the dedicated ICSP point on the Pickit pcb. Got compilation error... Discovered it was something around the BOV config fuses and another one wich i don't remind. I just corrected them using the newer syntax and VOILA! no more compilation error and be able to dump the .HEX in the Pickit with my favourite BK844a programmer. I think i kept the .Hex somewhere.

Unless you do the same stupid thing as i did, you won't need it.

That's what not enough sleeping do!
Good moves
I just checked Microchip's site and discovered that they are out of stock. Well, I want one now....so I'm ordering 2 of the PG164120 PICKIT2's from Digikey at the same price, along with a half a dozen '4550's (thanks mister_e) and some ADXL330's. Good fun...good times.

If you say the PICKIT2 is good, then that's what I'll get and give to that friend of mine.
