Replacing Airsense 10 power supply

Post by BlueDragon » Sun Jan 14, 2024 8:25 am

Power brick appears to have failed--CPAP light just flickers on when connected then is dead. With a different power supply, machine works fine.

So it looks like I need a new power brick. It's expensive from CPAP suppliers but relatively cheap from various Amazon sellers. Does anyone have experience with these less expensive power supplies? I would use it with a spare machine.

I got two of these to replace a Resmed "original" about a year ago, one to use and one spare for the next time I fry one. No complaints so far, they seem OK. Hard to tell these days what's real OEM and what's a knockoff since the knockoffs are often quite good.

Good news! While looking at the PS in the wastebasket, I discovered that the fine center pin was bent. I was able to straighten it and it now works.

Good news for sure. Mine I was not so lucky and since I was on my spare I ordered to have a new spare on hand. I suggest to have one around if possible for when luck runs out 🙂

We each have a spare machine, so we always have a backup on hand. I do recommend having a spare if possible.

I hung on to my previous Airsense 10 just in case I need parts in the future.
It's a noisy beast, but may serve in case of a catastrophic event, but all the attachments look good.
The upside to hoarding--if there is one. :mrgreen:

We are in the process of major downsizing as we try moving to an independent living apartment. Floor space is reduced rom 2000 to 1000 sq ft and there is no garage or storage space that we are used to.

It's amazing how much CPAP stuff I have. Learning how to "unhoard" is hard!

Sadly, a parent's hoard can easily become a curse on the children.
You should be commended for endeavoring to not "hand down" worthless things.
Not everyone has the courage to let go of excess, but that gift is priceless.
