OK, but I have nothing plugged, no key, no mic, nothing. But I will
check 8R and 8T for sure.... I let you know guys.
Thanks for now.

Yep. That happened to me once when I had a short in the key line.
After muttering "mon Dieu!" I started unplugging things and it started
working
Unplug the key and check again.

Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K2 freeze at startup... need advice
Jean,
This is strange - the second case of similar behavior reported on the
reflector today. Could it be a case of the 'phase of the moon'?
When the K2 is in transmit state, the behavior will be as you
describe -
no buttons operate but the K2 displays the frequency.
Check to see if your K2 is somehow stuck in transmit. The easiest way
is to check the state of the 8R and 8T voltages. You can checkby
measuring the DC voltage at the anodes of D6 and D7. During receive,
the voltage at D6 anode should be about 8 volts and the voltage at D7
should be near zero volts. If the K2 is 'stuck in transmit', those
voltages will be reversed.
If your K2 is indeed 'stuck in transmit', try removing the key plug
and
the microphone - if something external is creating that transmit
condition, it should be OK with those cables unplugged.

Hi everybody,
I have my first major trouble since my building experience back in
2004. Now, everytime i power up my K2, I can see ELECRAFT and then
the
frequency..... but everything is frozen after...... still get the
frequency displayed, but no button, no function work. I also tried to
reset the K2 to the factory default by holding 4-5-6 buttons..... Got
the 201 message then back to the ELECRAFT and the frequency..... but
still frozen !!!!
Is it possible the the control board PIC got a static discharge or
something like this !?!?!?!
