The PIC does not start its program.

I think you've certainly covered the bases on what NOT to do with a PC board.
....
Throw that one out. Get a new soldering iron, some 60/40 solder, some liquid flux, and a large pencil eraser. And try again.

It might've been easier to show the GOOD solder joints and the 'finer' points of this PCB.
Nothing like a properly tinned, properly cleaned, fully dewetted pad with a proper concave fillet between the lead and the pad connecting the 2 parts...
I saved those 4 pictures and I sent them to the instructors at the 2M-CCR class I took last year as examples of what NOT to do.
(BTW - I saw 2 pads that would pass at that 2M-CCR course as 'acceptable' in the upper left corner of the 3rd picture, the rest....fail.)

Darrel Taylor, it is much better to circle them on the picture instead of cutting them out.

As you are admin, I want you to increase the maximum picture size to 4MB for me to be able to upload high quality pictures.
