There is an interesting thread over on the Microchip Forum regarding the well loved PICkit2 programmer and devices with a bandgap value.
It would appear that the PICkit2 erases the value and sets it to 0, if you didn't make a note of it you've lost it and even if you did, you can't reprogram it with the PICkit 2.
This affects some of the popular PICs including 12F629, 12F675

I had a little play with a couple of 12F629 I've had lying around that have never been near a PICkit2 and sure enough, once they've been through the PICkit2 the bandgap value is cleared.
