i was earlier using PIC24FJ128GA010 with explorer 16 board.

but when i sifted to PIC24FJ256GB110 it gives some problems
i replace the MC pim but when i try to program the PIM (PIC24FJ256GB110) using ICD MPLAB debugger it says

"target cannot be identified"

however when i work with PIC24FJ128GA010 it works properly.

isnt explorer 16 board a universal board for PIC24 family?????

Don't start a new post each time you have a new question related to explorer 16 board and 24FJ256GB PIM!

As I said, the PIM has been designed for the explorer 16 board. I don't think, that it fits other target boards, by
the way. And it's working fine for me. The PIC24 variant of CCS USB examples has been dedicated to this
platform (together with USB PICtail). I didn't yet study possible mistakes in applying the module, however.

when i try to program the code from ICD to my PIC24FJ256GB110 using explorer 16 board it displays the following error message

"ICD0083 Debug: unable to enter debug mode"

what is the problem???

every pre required settings are ok.
also as i mentioned earlier the code works correctly with PIC24FJ128GA010.........

You most likely selected the wrong debug interface in the #fuses setting.
There has been some confusion with the interface numbering in PCD.

Fuses are set automatically by CCS compiler.
So where the error lies???

I tell the complier at startup what settings I want.

I just made a suggestion. There may be other problems too: Defective board, defective chip, defective programming
adapter, software installation fault, you pressed the wrong button, whatsoever.

Happy developing!

Well everything is ok.
Becoz when I program using other programming tools it works.
But it only gives the mentioned error when I try to program with PIC C

Error lies in fuses maybe, but how to correct it as I don't know much about fuses and all fuses are set automatically....

What's your #fuses setting and compiler version?

#fuses ICSP2 is correct with Explorer 16 for newer PCD versions
