i don't have an EPIC, neither any 840z adapter but.. but assuming both male header have different use... is there any chance you have connected the ribbon to the wrong one

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

I've had both, and the only problem I ever had was plugging onto the WRONG 10 way connector, or failing that, not orienting the target chip the right way around.

Which PIC are you using?
And which way did you plug it in?

the ribbon cable is on the right 10 pin header
pic is in the zif socket correctly
contacted melabs and they said the led should not come on when i connect the adaptor
they said its probably a faulty adaptor
just my luck!

I hate to disagree with melabs support, ... but ...
I just have a hard time believing that.
There's nothing on the adapter itself that can fail.
Unless there's some burnt traces or something. (which you would probably see)
You never did answer the questions ...

It's one thing to say it's correct, but for someone else to help troubleshoot, it makes it easier to know the actual details, so that the problem can be dismissed.
Assuming that the answer to both questions is indeed "They are the correct way".
I would be more likely to believe there's a problem with the ribbon cable, instead of the adapter itself.
And there's a few ways to find out.
1. replace the ribbon cable.
2. use an ohmmeter to test for shorts or opens in the ribbon.
3. visually insure that each conductor lines up with the correct Pins on the IDC connectors.
I just can't see one of those adapters failing on it's own.
