Hi i am new to microcontroller and trying to learn PIC controllers, i have completed few examples as mentioned in book, like flashing LED's etc...

Iam stuck with one problem , i am trying to send "Hello" to PC via RS232,
i wanted to see "Hello" in my PC hyperterminal as soon as i power up my PIC board, I have followed all the connections as mentioned in book, i have used MAX232 for serial communication.

I am not able to see "Hello" in Hyperterminal. I even connected LED to PIN 14 of MAX232(T1Out , which is connected to pin 2 of 9 pin D Connector)LED is blinking but "Hello" does not appear on Hyperterminal

Please help me to find solution

I think there is some wiring problem, it worked once. if check the voltage level at PIN 14 of Max232 i am getting approx 5V continously but i can see any think in hyperterminal. is it only wiring problem or there is any problem in my PC. i checked config setting in hyperterminal and seems to be correct.
