Help with fixing CPAP
Hi guys I know its not arduino related. But I really like help with this since its health related. All I know so far is that it started losing turbine power. Tonight it stopped once, then I simply restarted it believing I was dreaming or something. Then it stopped a few hours later. I could not restart it. It started beeping and now shows this message. That's all I know so far.

After a few more tries, it does restart. This is the device if like to see

Just realized thr bottom number is the same showed on the error screen
and over? to the other menu?
Just this and the next menu is the auto-test option. You can see my device has around 5 years now.
hum nothing there
I believe this is the most info we'll get without opening it
Pull the air filter and check it?
On my way
Follow the manufacturers troubleshooting steps too.. and call their phone support if available.. And if necessary, go to the hospital of course too.
Unobstructed. I can make it work also. I'm tempted to go back to sleep and check on this tomorrow.
fyi 5 yr is the rated life span so you might be ready for a new one?
How you know this? 5 yrs really?
I am a fast reader, i allready read the 87 page manual
Yes I am planning to get a new one... I thought it would be a backup one sadly it doesn't look like it
Of my device?
yeh 6? page manual
Wow it means I took good care of it 🥲
indeed.
And thanks for your time man, really appreciated
jt has over heat error codeds, it has motor failurs codes, it ahs power supply codes, but its not realy giving you any codes, so thats why i was eyeing for. but i did not see any 5 diget codes. so IDK
I knew I asked the right person. Thanks for deciphering
Have you ever see the show "house" with heugh laury ?
Also 5 years means 14600 hours of work (8 hours sleep basis) so it is indeed at the end of its lifespan
Love that show.
Also, care for sharing the user manual so I can read tomorrow? I'd like to knoe where you found the error codes as well. I intend to buy another one of these they are really well done.
That's very much who I am, even in real life. People often can't stand my directness or my "get to the point" attitude, but when no one else can get the job done, or when it's urgent, they call on me because they know I'll just get it done.
You could compare me to General Patton and many others throughout history who were the same way. I don't really have time for fluff, and if you're coming to me, I assume you already know that I'm not about "comforting and hand-holding." I'm focused on getting the job done, no matter what it takes. And yes, that's exactly how I choose my doctors too—I look for those who operate the same way.
Man, you sound just like a professor I had. He became a very close friend of mine. Thats exactly what I like him. Things done no matter what.
I allread closed the tab but here is another one. https://www.documents.philips.com/doclib/enc/11405972/DreamStation_CPAP_User_Manual.pdf
I'll go back to sleep.the thing seems to have one last breath and I'm willing to take it. I'll close the thread next.
good night sleep tight.
Hey guys, fyi, I ordered a new one, it will be here by thursday, lets just hope this one lasts til then. I'm really not feeling good, so it means its definitely defective. I'll close this thread now and I hope its okay if I reopen it when I have the time to try and fix this. Thanks for your help
