PIC16f72 PORTA not going to be digital output completely. RA4 not going high.

RA4 not turn on the led. other leds are on.

RA4 has an open drain output. It is different to the other port outputs.

Check out the IO ports section of the datasheet.

 

[internetuser2k12]

add a pull up resistor of 10k or 4.7k to the RA4 line

 

[Jestin_cubetech]

you can Drive a LED

RA4---/\/\/\/\-------|<|----- VCC
................. 330E......K.. LED....A.....

Like mentioned above, RA4 is open-drain. So, you can't get a high output. You get either low (0) or a floating state. To get high (1) output, you need to pull-up the pin to VDD level, so that, instead of the floating state, you now get a high output (due to the pull-up resistor). A 10k resistor is sufficient. However, you can't draw much current due to the pull-up resistor. In that case, you may use a transistor.

Hope this helps.
Tahmid.
