Bipap light would not go off

Post by travelGuy* » Fri Oct 14, 2022 4:58 am

At 5am my bipap light would not go off. I didn't know what to do. I finally searched for an answer thru google website and came across this website.
I read in the posts until I found one which mentioned this same issue I was having with machine. The suggestion by Dave was to unplug the device, which I did and hooray, it worked!!! It just needed to be rebooted.
Thank you Dave!!! : :D

Arthur C. Clarke:
...about once a week some character spots the fact that HAL is one letter ahead of IBM, and promptly assumes that Stanley and I were taking a crack at the estimable institution ... As it happened, IBM had given us a good deal of help, so we were quite embarrassed by this, and would have changed the name had we spotted the coincidence.

Since it's a serious question, you deserve a serious answer.
Can you give us a hint about what BIPAP machine you have and what light stays on???

Google will save your bacon!
A couple of years ago, we skipped a week or two of leaving the house;
and the 12volt battery on the Prius died. (Cost of voluntary isolation)
Doors would not unlock--whaddaya do?
Tow job, the new battery from dealership? At their prices???
Unacceptable! In spades!
Bullfrog found directions online--on how to get in, and access battery, to charge it.
Cost: not a sou. Beautiful!
The process was utterly insane--but gladly done.
Saved us several grand!

i don't understand.

op has found the answer s/he wants and is unlikely to come back. seems like there isn't much need for this to go on.

or am i missing something?

There is an upside to this forum being monitored by Google.
Somebody found us!
