Just replaced my display, thank you nomad for the time and effort put in here.
The Avanti Flow was a bit awkward to figure out how to pull down.
Here’s briefly how I did it.
Used a knife to remove the front black metal grill, pushed knife down sides and eased it up a little at a time.
Removed the eight screws from front panel and pulled out front of unit carefully.
There are plenty of small ribbon cables so be gentle
Removed 4 screws from first pcb with what looks like an earthing cable attached to one.
Removed screws from 2nd pcb
Removed screws holding screen pcb. I think I now pulled the ribbon cables out and swapped over the replacement screen. The old one is glued on to the plastic but just ease it off.
Used a bit of plastic glue to stick new one on making sure I got it correct way up etc
Reassemble pushing back any ribbon cables you have removed. It’s quite a fiddley job all in all but take your time .
Used small Phillips head screwdriver, a knife, some plastic glue and a bit of tape to stick ribbon cable down on new screen.
Hope that helps someone

A quick summary for anyone stumbling on this thread whilst looking to replace their dim/blank display on on their Pure Evoke Flow or Pure Avanti.
I have some replacements on order, eta approx 20th Nov 17. Price will be dependent on landing fees but should be less than £20 each including UK postage.
Add your name to the list to be sure of getting one (no obligation to buy).

Please could you add +1 for me. Display on my Evoke Flow has died completely today after fading for weeks. I can't believe how many people have been affected by this same fault on this website alone! Especially when you think how many other Pure customers there must be out there, who wouldn't even attempt or look for a fix.
AJSDyno,
Please can you remove my 3 x Pure Flow displays from your list.
Jumped in a bit too quickly.
Today I had a look at the replacement on my Pure Evoke Avanti, and looks like a bigger job than anticipated.
I do not think I have sufficient technical knowledge or skill to carry this out, so will either carry on with my dim display or take for repair.
Apologies and thank you for your work.

My wife's Pure Evoke Flow RESTORED !!!
So I've just done our radio, having received a screen from NomadUK, and it's perfect - as good as new: dimming automatically when required but perfectly bright when needed.
Technically I would say the job was a bit fiddly but not difficult as long as you can find a small screwdriver and your reading glasses
So:
1. remove the back plate (six screws)
2. slide the innards out (angle it out right side first)
3. [non-essential] if you'd like to give yourself more room and can reach it then the wire that attaches the inner board to the inside of the radio handle can be unscrewed temporarily
4. note how the screen ribbon cable inserts into the circuit board. (Mine had the numbers 1 and 22 on it which helped.) Your new ribbon will need to go in the same way, obvs.
5. CRITICAL: there is a small black plastic clip which you can see either side of where the ribbon meeds the circuit board. Slide both ends of this up towards the top of the radio, releasing the old ribbon cable
6. remove the four small screws from the screen retainer and remove this and the old screen
7. slide the old ribbon through the letterbox aperture on the screen retainer
8. clean the inside of the radio window
9. remove the screen protector from your new screen and site the new screen (the right way up!)
10. insert the new ribbon cable through the letterbox aperture and set the screen retainer in place
11. replace the four small screws and tighten them evenly
12. reattach the ribbon cable (make sure the black clip is open as you are inserting the ribbon; closing the clip then locks the ribbon in place)
13. [if you detatched the wire from the inside of the radio handle then now is the time to reattach it]
14. replace the board (left side in first) and reinsert the six screws
15. plug it in, wait for it to sort itself out, and then...
16. ...allow yourself a warm smile of self-congratulation. You have saved an old radio from the rubbish bin
17. [OPTIONAL] tune back in to radio 4.
NomadUK and Alampro - thanks for your encouragement! Any comments on my technique welcome for the benefit of those who follow. May God bless you all. Good night!

OxfordDownings,
What a great site this is.
Thank you very much for your guide, much appreciated that you went to all that trouble after my post.
Unfortunately, my post was inaccurate as I posted Evoke Avanti (two different models). I meant that my model was the Avanti Flow, which as far as I could see from a brief strip down, has a display that is a little more complicated to get at.
As it works perfectly well, apart from the dull display, I am nervous at attempting the repair as I would miss using the radio if anything went wrong.
Sometimes you have to acknowledge the limits of your abilities - which sometimes I don't before embarking on a 'project' - but I'm learning.
