schofiel carpal tunnel Registered: 25/06/1999 Posts: 2993 Loc: Wareham, Dorset, UK	You do realise that the PIC is a custom-programmed part which you are not going to be able to get off the shelf? You will be able to buy the chip, in the right package - but not the program _________________________ One of the few remaining Mk1 owners... #00015

adavidw addict Registered: 10/11/2000 Posts: 497 Loc: Utah, USA	Right, but the problem with sending it to Rob is that Rob didn't have the code to program the PIC that would need to be replaced. By a known working unit bypasses that problem. _________________________ -Aaron

schofiel carpal tunnel Registered: 25/06/1999 Posts: 2993 Loc: Wareham, Dorset, UK	Not sure I said that at all! I can obtain a programmed PIC for the repair with no problem. You will need to send in the display unit. However, you are going to have to be patient for a little while as I have to temporarily put repair work on hold for a couple of weeks. _________________________ One of the few remaining Mk1 owners... #00015
