Hi there. OK OK, i am new to this so please bare with me.

I do alot of programming (or at least, I used to!) and dont program in many programming languages as I wanted, I cant do ASM...yet.

anyway, I have a PIC16F84...and was put in a ch!pp£d box....

unfortunatly, it stopped functioning last nite after 3 years of good use! (for cable tv)

need to know...how can I fix it? Apart from that, how can I hook it up to the PC and program it? lets say, to flash lights, or maybe to print a msg saying "hello" or something along those lines? (a cheap way please!)

and apart from that, the main question is, how do u chip a box? how do u make it work? what needs to be done and how?

Thanks!
