Hi Gil
Just try to reseat the ICs.--Processor and the EEPROM chip.
When I first built mine I didn't push them fully in then after moving /
carrying the K2 around funny thiings happened .Reseat ICs and all is well.
Of course You could forget to solder few joints and they may still work by
contact , then later it became loose.
