It would seem that you have purchased a K2 that was not working as it should. If it was advertized as a fully working radio, you may have recourse with the seller for either a refund or a repair. OTOH, if the seller did not state that it was working properly, you may have to investigate and fix it yourself.

Normally, the K2 will not go to a display of the power output - it should come up in receive. Disconnect everything from the K2 except for the power cord and the antenna connection. To help with diagnosing the problem, connect the K2 to a dummy load.

If this is a K2/100 (with KPA100). connect the dummy load to the SO-239 jack. If a K2/10, connect the dummy load to the ANT1 jack on the upper rear panel if the KAT2 is installed, or to the lower rear panel ANT BNC jack if the KAT2 is not installed.

If you want to troubleshoot it yourself, you can email me directly and I can help. Please include the configuration and installed options for your K2 as well as the serial number.

Hello

I'm just new in the Elecraft world.  Recently I purchase in Ebay a K2 Serial 
4401.  The problem is that when I connect the radio to the power and press the 
switch button it turn on but immediately turns off,  it shows the word 
elecraft, it reads the frequency and when goes to the power display PO and then 
and then goes off.
