In Mexico and M Series won't work!! Help!
I just got to Mexico and my M Series machine does not work. It seems to be getting power, and fan seems to try to start up; but my machine won't work! Can somebody please help me? Is there a way to reset the machine? Does anybody have experience in Mexico? There should be no problem with the power here. Bottom line, my machine is not working, and I'm stuck and I don't know what to do! Help Please!!!

Is there any chance water got into the machine from the humidifier during travel?

If water got into it...it won't work. Same thing happened to me only after I got home. Water in the M is BAAAAAD.

Is it displaying any sort of error code in the window?

You may not have reliable power where you are. That can certainly happen in Mexico, as I know from experience. This also happens to me in our motorhome when the batteries can't supply enough voltage...it starts and almost immediately shuts off. There may not be anything wrong with machine, but you may not be able to use it until you get home. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Having lived in Mexico, but prior to xPAP -- I can only offer that the power where I was worked everything I had -- Ham Radio, TV, Satellite equipment, Washers, Dryers, etc. It was very expensive (because of build out to the area I was living - most had solar systems), but worked.
You didn't mention where you were (Mexico is a big place)?? Close to a big city?? In a hotel?? All of which should provide adequate power for xPAP.
The others have better ideas for the lack of functionality.....I just wanted to add that power in Mexico isn't generally an issue (there are always exceptions!!!)
cheers

Wars arise from a failure to understand one another's humanness. Instead of summit meetings, why not have families meet for a picnic and get to know each other while the children play together?

Contact Lou Dobbs ... he has a solution for all problems dealing with Mexico
If you gets water inside machine you need to let it dry out before using it ... another reason the integrated HH sucks for the M series.

President-pretender, J. Biden, said "the DNC has built the largest voter fraud organization in US history". Too bad they didn’t build the smartest voter fraud organization and got caught.
