Reading a PIC16LF88

[HooRide]

I'm toying around with my new Minipro TL866CS and popped in a PIC16LF88 from a device I own to experiment reading the data off of it.

It comes out as all zeros, does this mean I'm doing something wrong or is there a copy protection scheme in place?

Thanks!

What does the programmer's manual say about it?

All zeros would be consistent with copy protection turned on.

If the PIC came from a commercial device, then it will almost certainly be copy protected

Thank you; that is what I expected. It's not exactly a commercial device and was hopeful they didn't lock it down.
