ICD S40 Communication Querry

[PiCsEe]

Im currently trying to establish communication between the an ICD S40 and a DLP-245PB-G board.

Im using version 2.16 #163 of the ICD Interface Program, and it returns an ID of 0x3FFF for the pic16f877a thats on the dlp-245pg-g board.

Attempting to "Test Target" the icd program returns the message "Target could not be detected"

It also gives me the option to run a hardware diagnostic, and I did. I observed the following;

- Target Vdd = 5.21V
- My target chip is supported (PIC16F877A)
- Vpp = 12.9 volts on MCLR pin
- Device ID = 3FFF
- square waves generated on Clk and data pins are identical, except the clk line toggles from 0 to 5 volts, whereas the data line toggles between 0 and 0.6volts.

has any one experienced this sort of problem before, and or would be willing to provide some help ?
