Hi

Sorry Hans to have to correct you. None of the cameras of the K2 are used as wifi antennas. The wifi antenna of the K2 is right within the DVR.

@PhilBuck

For the K2 to start there needs to be at least the front camera connected. Without a camera connect to the F Port, the DVR will continously reboot it its efforts to find the missing camera.

Chances are that your firmware got corrupted and you simply need to re-install it. The bootloader for the update process requires the sd card formatted in FAT32. Any other format will not work. So the best way is to take a small sd card, format it at your computer (which should use FAT32 at a card this size), put the firmware file in the root folder and give it a try.

If this still does not help, I am afraid that your K2 has died. There is still a way to find out what’s going on, but that requires soldering at the board and some computer knowledge. It would not be worth the effort for such an old dashcam. Though the K2 was a good dashcam when boosted by my firmware 🙂
