[NTLK] MP2000 stuck in a boot loop :(

[Forrest Buffenmyer]

I recall that Frank (Gruendel) has seen and repaired this problem. IIRC it involves disassembly and swapping internal chips/boards—best left to someone like him to undertake.

Frank’s site is  https://www.pda-soft.de/. Once there you’ll be asked to select your language: English or German. I looked through the options under Hardware and also under FAQs, and I didn’t see this particular repair.

Frank is notoriously very busy, but there is the chance he will see your message and post a response. You could always click on the Email link to contact him more directly.

Mahalo,
Forrest
