CPAP help

Post by kleinster » Wed Mar 26, 2014 7:45 pm

My Resmed CPAP keeps blinking on and off, the Resmed logo blinks on the window screen and non of the function selects work. Won't shut down or clear by pushing start/Stop buttons. Help?

Have you tried unplugging from electric source and then plug back in? Might get lucky and have that reset things.
Other than that can't offer much...
Which ResMed model series machine is it? How old is it? Any error messages or numbers?
Sounds like it likely needs to go to the cpap machine hospital for fixing. Depending on age of machine if it is very old it would likely cost more to get it fixed than it might be worth.
Now if it is less than 2 years old then it would still be under warranty and that would mean it would have to be one of the S9 model series.

Yeah, the green light on the start/stop is only coming on periodically. I think the power chord is done. It's only about a year old, newer model. No error, not even getting that far. I'll call them tomorrow. It's through the VA. They usually pretty good about getting stuff replaced. Sucks cause I been losing breath lately at night when not wearing it. Hopefully they'll have me fixed up soon.

If it is the S9 machine...looks like this one

And if you suspect power cord....
The power cord going to the brick is pretty much universal I think.

You might look around the house to see if you have a similar cord...I have one going to the brick for my laptop.
If you do...give it a try.

My printers use the same cord as the part going to the brick. If it's the brick having trouble, then you'll have to wait for the VA, but it would be a quick and easy test and fix.

Who would have thought it would be this challenging to sleep and breathe at the same time?

The S9 power brick is 24 volt DC output; pretty much proprietary.
If it is working, it should be slightly warm--if hot, it could be fried.
If cold, check all connections, even try a different outlet or power strip.
However, since your display blinks, it looks like you are getting power.
The LED on top of the power brick should be green; if any other color, tell the VA.
