Re: [K2] On initial Power-up, '"INFO 201" Remains

Michael Eberle
Looks like the EEPROM may not be initializing.  Double check U7 and make
sure you don't have any bad/missing solder joints and make sure it is
oriented the right direction.
I don't remember if it is in a socket or not, but if so, make sure all
the pins went into the socket.  Basic stuff but the kind of mistake I
would be likely to make.

73,

Also check the manual section "Troubleshootin", there are specific hints for "INFO 201" error.
Good luck and 73.
