Mike, My K2/100 #3255 behaved in exactly the same way some years ago, actually on two occasions about a year apart. The problem was caused by dirt or corrosion on the contacts of the socket of the MCU U6 on the Control board. Pulling and reseating the U6 IC cured the problem on each occasion.
After the second episode I changed U6's socket to a turned pin (machined) type of socket, and the problem has not reared its ugly head since. The type of socket supplied with the K2 kit is often a cause of "problems". 73, Geoff GM4ESD From: "worsr" Sent: Friday, May 07, 2010 9:47 PM > My K2 #5767 suddenly has quit working.
