When a K2 stops working when the mic is connected, then this sounds as if the 5
Volt in the mic connector is being shorted.
This will take out several vital functions on the front panel/control boards. I
would check the mic's plug.

Gary,
Is the frozen state possibly the K2 in transmit?
A ground on the PTT line will put the K2 into transmit and lock the frequency
display and disable most of the front panel controls with the exception of
the power control.
I had the similar problem with a stray strand of wire in the mic
I thought I had a problem with the control board originally. When I
turned on the K2 the Elecraft would come up and then go to the
frequency. However, everything was frozen. Nothing worked and the
frequency couldn't be changed. I re-installed the control board, turned
it on and everything
Gary,
You seem to be having several problems that cannot logically be related
to each other.
I suggest that you re-check all your soldering. Look at it with a
critical eye. A good solder joint should have a concave fillet that
tapers off to an almost invisible edge on both the solder pad
