PURE Evoke DAB Radios | No Display & No Power | REVISIT

I'm taking another look at the PURE Evoke 1s and Flow DAB Radios very kindly sent over to me by Lee.
Will I have any more luck this time!?
Hope you enjoy!
Steve

Thanks very much for posting this. I ordered a new display, fitted it, and it is now back to new. Thanks also for mentioning the Austria Microsystems AS3654 power management IC. I designed this part of the circuit for Pure Digital when I worked for Austria Microsystems back in 2006. It is good to see my design lives on

[@StezStixFix]

Oh wow, thanks Simon! 👍

[@74HC04]

It's a small world, Simon. You covinced me to incorportae lots of Linear Technology switching regulators into our designs when I worked for a small company near Newton Abbot in about 2011. :-) Robin

[@74HC04]

@@simonams Thank you. You too, Simon! I am still involved in design, although no longer in the UK unfortunately. (I still have the LT promo laser pointer pen!) Just bought a Pure Elan Connect+ on KZbinr Techmoan's recommendation, which is why I think the algorithm sent me here. Currently having fun reverse engineering it without removing any screws!

[@PhilipBryden]

I coudln't justify the price of a new screen either. It didn't take me long to realise the hobby of 'fixing things', must start with the hobby of 'collecting broken spares'.

[@StezStixFix]

Spot on there Phil! I'm slowly growing my collection of spares! It's difficult having to order small components all the time and (in some cases) having to guess the correct ones!

[@faraday4759]

This inspired me to fix the screen on my evoke Marshall. And it now works perfectly. Thanks very much. Love the channel I’ve discovered due one quick KZbin search for Evoke screen repair. I am now a subscriber. Keep up the good work 👍🏻

[@StezStixFix]

Thanks Faraday! Really appreciate the sub! And I'm glad you got the Evoke Marshall working. I love the look of those ones, I might keep my eye out for one! 👍

[@welshtony1]

haha "the video is ... I can never remember this" yeah I am the same on every video I make, trying to say Top right but yet for us its top left. so hard to remember while recording haha That 1st track on the radio right at the end, What a classic great track, can't beat a bit of MJ. Glad you got the 1 sorted, looking forward to the next one

[@StezStixFix]

😊 Thanks Tony! Yeah, shame we only caught a couple of seconds of MJ! But that's probably all I would have been able to get away with for copyright anyhow! 👍

[@ToxoRetro]

4:00 Crikey; The Archers have gone deep and dramatic and upped their budget. 😝 Nice efforts as always. You got one working plus the other is at least giving signs of life. Perhaps it's in a Lights Out game mode. 😉 I hope you find a more sensibly priced source for the screen and manage to reach the checkered flag by getting it working. Keep up the good work and the entertainment side too. 🤘😎

[@StezStixFix]

Thanks Toxo! 😁 Really happy to get one working, and I have ordered up a screen because I absolutely have to know if the other one works! Hopefully it'll arrive in the next couple of weeks! 👍

[@HavingFunRepairs]

Good to see you got resolution to one of the radios! Fingers crossed for the other.

[@StezStixFix]

Thanks Shawn! Really good to get one of them up and running. I'm hoping a new screen will fix up the other one too! 👍

[@HavingFunRepairs]

@@StezStixFix I had a feeling you were going to revisit. I left the original video thinking probably the same things you were. Especially concerning the re-ball. In my head I was like "he surely isn't going to let these slide away". Glad you didn't! Well done as always!

After ten minutes of random button pressing I just received Six Music on the Evoke F4 I bought on eBay. Now it is time to buy a display. What would be useful would be to know the menu structure below the home key.

[@beogeek]

Hey Steve, what overhead camera are you using and how are you capturing everything? I suspect an HDMI capture card?

[@StezStixFix]

Hi BeoGeek! It's a Sony ZV-1 camera. Really like it! I actually record on to an SD card and transfer files to my PC for editing. Keeps everything nice and simple for me! 👍

[@beogeek]

@@StezStixFix Wait so you record with 1x Sony for both the front-facing content and overhead? Or do you have 2x cameras?

@@beogeek I have 2! I was lucky enough to find a 2nd hand one for a good price, and I had to get it. Much better than the old Canon camcorder I was using before.

That song always reminds me of Con Air. Put the bunny back in the box! 😁 I've ordered a ridiculously expensive screen, so I might be good, but I really appreciate the offer my brother Steve. Not even sure it'll fix the problem, but I've now convinced myself that I've fixed it and that I just can't see what's going on! 😬

[@Ratchet_effect]

Omg that movie 🤦🏻‍♂️ I've not seen that in many, many years. Now you bought the screen watch it be a display driver chip. Sods law brother Steve! I have been digging and I found 3 candidates, So I'll have something to eat and have a check to see IF I can mimic your issue, maybe help trace things if it is a chip fault. 👍🏻

[@StezStixFix]

That would be awesome, brother Steve! If it is the display driver ic, I might be able to salvage that off the other board! Asuming that one is good, that is. And we all know what happens when we assume! 😂

What is that white thing sticking over the second and third vents down on the back of your microscope? It's been there for months. It's giving me OCD!

got an evoke flow and wont power up.common for breaking are they ?

[@Umski]

Thank you for this - someone dropped a 1S on me at a Repair Café at the weekend and I was given no info about it - seems it is just the display after all (I didn't realise the on/off switch was the volume control 🤦‍♂) - we see the Pure and Roberts DAB radios a lot but more often than not we can't get very far and they end up as landfill 😥 P.S. What was the part number for the display please?

would the screen out of the first one fit just to try if it is the screen ? i know it means taking other one apart again

[@desaint4952]

you mentioned that when you power it on that it has memory and would turn on to where it was prior to turning the unit off. so there has to be some sort of internal battery. have you tried disconnecting that and seeing what happens when you turn the unit back on?

[@StezStixFix]

Great idea! I did have a quick look but couldn't find an actual battery. I assume it's one of the capacitors but wasn't sure which one!

[@desaint4952]

@@StezStixFix if it was a capacitor it would have to be a short term memory as they would slowly drain but take a big resistor to each capacitor to drain them and see if that does anything

£37.99.... Thirty seven ninety nine. No wonder those radios cost a packet.

[@tyronenelson9124]

One of the major problems with some of these DAB radios is that some of them run on 5v DC only but yet the DC input jack is exactly the same size as the common 12v DC power adaptor jack, and its quite easy to mix them up and plug the wrong adaptor in and let out the magic smoke, what a shitty idea, no doubt the Chinese was behind that one.

[@ry491]

Modern digital radios are rubbish and so unreliable. I have a collection of old Japanese multiband radios. Most of them have never been repaired and still work perfectly . Roberts radios are terrible for screen faults . eBay is full of faulty ones .
