[Elecraft] Need Help with my K2 did not turn on

[Don Wilhelm]

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.

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.
