My Pure Evoke Flow had a very nasty fall last night and when I looked this morning I found the display is not working. I was just about to go on a trip so did not have time to open it up so decided to get a new radio and then if repairable will be useful in another room.
I called in Curry's in Greenock, they have the Pure Evoke Flow on display so asked an assistant if he had one boxed up - "what?". I had to take him and show it to him. Quick check and none in stock - if he had offered the display one at a discount then I might have taken it.
Comet have a nice Roberts DAB radio with Internet access but it has no battery (or at least no mention of battery on the box, if not mentioned then not likely to have one). Pity as looked a nice set.
Have to have a look elsewhere tomorrow.

It was a Pure Evoke Flow that has broken, it has the rechargeable battery.
The Roberts has no mention of rechargeable battery on the box so very unlikely to have one and no obvious places to put one or normal batteries.
Might be willing to let it go but don't know how much for?
Also has broken aerial.
Quite often these type of displays are linked to the main board by a a multi-ribbon type of connector which is pushed into the board and can easily become partially disconnected.
As I wrote, I am away from home so not able to do so.
I propose to get a new radio of some sort then if I can repair the Pure Evoke Flow I can use in sitting room, kitchen etc. At the moment I use an old Roberts as a second radio but it is rather ancient.
I might go for the new Roberts one even though it is not portable, if I can't repair the Evoke Flow then will get something else portable that does not have Internet access.
Thank you if you can help!
I asked Pure after getting my replacement radio
You go online then
Register at The Lounge/Pure connect and the website generates the code for you to enter in internet enabled radios.
Under My Account there's a tab for Devices in Lounge and Devices under the email address in Connect.

thanks!
Seems like a Pure problem.
My Evoke is with them at the moment being looked at
I switched on one morning to find green backlight and no display at all
The volume stuck at one level and unable to change station !!
I purchased it originally as I was told they are amongst the best in the market
Now I'm not so sure...:eek:
It's always the same on forums,,GORTONIAN,, I afraid. You hear stories about computers, broadband, radios, TVs and other services being piss poor.
In reality, if it works for you then in doesn't need replacing. Up until this morning my Pure One Flow radio worked fine. It's a glitch in the system, that's all.
Look forward to many happy and uninterrupted hours, of listening, when your radio comes back from the hospital.
I don't usually have problems with it , on the whole it's a good piece of equipment. Much better than it's predecessor the Logik R100 which was a temperamental little sod at the best of times!
Is there ANY Internet radio that is not dependent on a main server for either 1) its station list or 2) its complete functionality, as the Pure radios seem to be?
Here's the first response from PURE, via FB.
I'm also told that the Evoke SHOULD default to the last played station, should it not find its database or the server itself. Obviously, this is not happening.
They currently have no automatic way to let folks know about a server outage, but are working on options that include Twitter and/or Facebook. In addition, the note on the radios that sends us to a page where there is NO information ( connect.pure.com/me) will be addressed.
It was a nice note, I'm not posting it in full as I don't believe in releasing other folks emails without their permission and I don't have that. But this summary is the information that I received.
