The MCLR issue is the reason why they cannot be programmed anymore, sure, that sounds right. But could a PicKit 2 or 3 program these anyway?
Yes, because they do VPP before VDD. I amended a JDM to do the same thing too. A PicKit 2 will reprogram a PIC with Internal Osc and MCLR just fine.
I can also confirm, that the KIT 149, originally from KITSRUS, will also reprogram in this situation, although it will NOT program the very new PICs. It is an intelligent programmer with its own good software. The KIT149 has been cloned by a number of the Chinese who advertise on Epay.
I can recommend Sure Electronics. Delivery from China is usually fast and efficient. Money back if undelivered after 30 days. They do exact clones of both the PicKits 2 and 3 at advantageous prices.
