Jackie Et al,

Has Pure ever made any comment as to why this particular model of their's seems to die after about 7 years, regardless of how much use the radio has been put through?

Perhaps they realised they had used poor components and that was the reason they dropped the model so quickly.

I've had my Sonus reparied by Chris Ellis for £44 and while its still working it sometimes fades to no sound and I have to switch it back on.

If this is what the 7 year itch does I'm glad I didn't catch it! (grin)

Yes, the display is lit up, but we don't know any more than that at this
stage. Looks as though this hardly used radio has gone the same way as many
which is frankly shameful.

If it's gone the same way as one of mine you'll find the display is lit up
but blank except for a row of rectangular markers filling it.  My
understanding is that it's the mother boards which go.  To be honey, the
station identification on mine was so out of date as to be largely useless.
But it was good for checking the time in the night.

Hi Pele et al

This is a very strange situation with the Sonus radios.  I have read
that
lots of people have found their radio dead after a certain length of
time,
and for no apparent reason.  I will ask Martin's sister Bridget to
take a
look at the display for me when she comes in on Thursday evening,
but so far
not so good! I followed Culvinder's instructions to reset it, but it
seems
dead apart from the fact we know there is power.

I Jackie and Everyone

I am not sure resetting the Sonos 1 will make any difference. After
a
while these radios seem to just stop. We had one that stopped in
this
way and could not be revived.

I believe there is someone who repairs them, but it costs quite a
lot of
money.

I hope it works for you, Jackie.
