Thanks,

I re-registered to the mailing-list so it should be ok now. Thanks !

According to your last advice, I tried to change the capacitors, first
by new 1uF => Still getting 12v at R1. Then I tried with 10uF and got
12.8v.

As target board, all I get is the target PIC (wired on a protoboard).
Nothing else.

I'll wait for the others PIC to arrive, then I'll try and keep you
updated. I don't have too much hope, but maybe the one I get were
damaged before I got them... Anyway, during my next holidays (in 6
weeks) I'll make an other board.

Thanks for you help :)
