Sam, Do you have a local CPAP supplier from whom you bought the machine?

Please also check craigslist.com in your area. You may be able to buy a good used machine cheaply. https://newyork.craigslist.org/search/s ... query=cpap

I could loan you a machine, but in Queens, you are about 1800 miles from me. :?

You are still closer than I am by about 500 miles or so. :lol: :lol:

I haven't looked but I just imagine that the local Queens craigslist should have something that would work for cheap until able to use insurance or DME or figure out what is wrong with the current machine.

Not powering up at all....unusual. I would look at the power supply...brick or cord.

I forgot to ask if Sam had unplugged it and plugged it back in again. Also, plug a lamp into the outlet to check if juice is there.

This happened to me once and all I needed was a new power supply, which my DME gave me for free when I called them. Maybe worth checking out?

Hmm, he *could* have found his caps lock button . . .
No promises, though.

I hope so! And anyone else following along might have picked up a piece of advice along the way. ;)
