CPAP not working and lights flashing

Hi all,

Ive had my CPAP for 2 years and last night when I went to use it, it would not work. When I plugged it in, the lights started blinking and after about a minute it started making a beeping noise. By lights blinking, I mean that the on botton, ramp, moisture level knob etc. were all blinking continuously.

When I pushed the on button, nothing happened. The machine did not turn on. I opened up the flap to look at the display, and all it had was a triangle with a ! mark in it. Has anyone had similar problems? or know of a fix?

I had the CPAP in my truck during the day and the temp dropped to -20 deg C, so Im not sure if that had something to do with it.

Please let me know if there is a fix for this, or if anyones had similar problems.

Thank you

you would need to state your make and model of cpap along with exactly how many lights and duration

Take a look at the above thread and scroll down till you see the image posted. It includes the triangle with exclamation mark. If that is your type of machine looks like some service is needed. Unsure if cold weather affects it. Was there any water in it?

That sounds serious as in "Call your DME" serious. But right now it sounds like toast.

Did you forget to empty the water chamber before moving it? That is the most common failure mode when traveling. You do know how OSA impacts our memories, right?

More clues will be needed for a better WAG.
