eeprom lost program...
This seems strange to me...· I just took a protoboard over to my soldering station to add in a new chip and when I was done, turned it on and got nothing on VGA output...· Troubleshot and found that the eeprom just "forgot" it's program.· But, I was able to just reprogram it and now it works again...
Isn't this strange?· I wonder how the eeprom got erased with no power applied?· Anybody else lost their eeprom data like this?

Maybe some sort of ESD got it and flipped some bits...

The issue that got me a few times..
Let's say you have a project open.. and you have all the objects visible on the menu bar.
But you have wrong object hi-lited and you do a recompile.... suddenly a perfectly working "Project" okay does not work.
As the top objects is no longer the top object...
Hope you understand what I am trying to say..

That one's gotten me, too. In fact, once I hit "compile", and the program compiled when it was clear that it contained multiple errors. I even wrote a "what's up with this?" post, complete with circles and arrows, and posted it on the forum. Fortunately for my dignity, I discovered that what was actually being compiled was a hidden top-level program and not the one I was looking at in the IDE; and I was able to delete my post before anyone saw it.

That's cheating.....I think I have done that myself....a few times.
But now I think a little lesser of you (not much) but you shouldn't share those moments. You may loose your god status. :-)

One little spark of imagination is all it takes for an idea to explode
thought i was the only idiot below the equator to make that mistake..
(compiling the wrong object as the top LEVEL)
Thought the heat was getting to me when that was happening a few weeks ago..
cheers ron mel oz..
That's bitten me too more times than I care to mention. I usually download, wander across the room to see what the TV is showing, stand there confused while it stays blank, then wander back to the PC.
What might be a good idea is to allow F9 ( syntax check ) but not F10 / F11 unless there's a _CLKMODE in the selected source.
I cannot believe there are that many people who need to actually download code which doesn't use a _CLKMODE and for the few that do having to add_CLKMODE RCFAST isn't that hard or onerous. It won't catch all download mistakes but would catch a lot of them.
