I upgraded from 16F689 to 16F886 due to memory space. Complied fine and i am stuck with all RA's ports. I had no plm with 16F689 using RA5 as clock for shiftin command on RC.6 and RC.7. LCD commands works fine on both PICs (RC's). I cant get clock bursts out on 16F886.

I now focus on getting RA5 or RA6 what ever on any RA's still cant all pins low. Once PIC is on, I could see all RA pins high during start up and wont get into low and cant get clockk bursts on those RA5 or RA6 since those pins stuck at high logic.

Any idea?

comparators are off, ADC are off. I tried everything else getting all RA's LOW.
