(ELMER 160) PICEL gen ver 1.3

I am experiencing a problem with the start up of Picel gen ver 1.3.  I find that I must warm up the pic by placing my finger on it for a half minute to accomplish a start up.  The first thing that happens is the display reads PICELgen but won't advance to the next screen.  A clue is the LEDS 1 AND 2 light up normally but LED3 just barely flashes.  Finally, when operating temperature has been reached, LED3 will light along with LED1 AND LED2 and they will stay on.  The Screen will then go to VER 1.3 and on to the frequency display.  This has been tried with substitute pics with the same result.  The 4 MHZ oscillator has been checked and starts instantly with perfect waveform.  The 100MHz oscillator is fine also.  Test Picel and the lesson 6 programs have been tried with no problem.  The problem seems to be limited to the PICEL gen 1.3 .  I am curious as to what is going on here.&n! bsp;
