CPAP machine fell off nightstand

Post by Bubba1 » Sat Jan 11, 2020 12:40 pm

Somehow the machine fell off the nightstand I think I rolled too far away from it. Hit the carpet and bent the connector where the charger goes in. It has one pin not sure if it broke off or not. Anyway it won't turn on now. :oops:
My provider is closed on weekends so I will have to do something on Monday.
I don't want to lie to them but I wonder how the warranty works in this case?

The machine you are showing has a straight round plug with a very tiny pin in the center..

Yes I can see the tiny pin, not sure if it's snapped the end off or not.

Where do you live? If you're in Los Angeles area, we could swap power supplies and see if it works

Warranties don't cover abuse.

I didn't exactly use it for target practice with a 9mm or throw it against a brick wall.

Nobody said you did.

palerider used the terminology that *is* used in warranty descriptions. Falling to the ground and breaking is considered abuse, as per warranty definition.

Why do some people get their panties all knotted up when others use clear, concise language?

I'm not from Canada so don't have socialized medicine. Anyway I'll probably just lie and say it just stopped working.

Failure to prevent it from crashing to the floor is abuse, not a manufacturing defect, no matter how you may dissemble.

I'll bet you didn't use double sided mouse glue traps of the surface you mounted it on, fly strips seldom work. A good hose hanger works, 10 foot hose, drawer in table, wall on table the machine it can't jump over. Dozens of solutions out there, but in the end it's up to you to keep the machine safe. Jim

15 years mine just sits there, 6 ft hose, behind the headboard over my head, it's never ran away yet.

I do keep a Walther PPK near, to shoot it if it attempts to run away....

That says all that needs to be said about you.

Hopefully they'll call you on it, since it will be obvious that you broke it.

So the reason you get your panties in a knot, when others use precise language, is because you're not from Canada and don't have socialized medicine.
