New Resmed S10 wont start after 1 use
Hi Everyone
Need some help please, I am in Australia and just got delivered from the US a Resed S10 unit. It arrived yesterday, I used it for the first time last nite with no problems. Later this morning I wanted to check on the reporting function and fine tune the settings, but my screen is totally black and unit is unresponsive.
I have unplugged everything and reconnected everything, even the SD card, but the unit wont turn on, the screen is black.
Even when I put the mask on the unit wont start ... I've just returned my old rental unit and dont have anything for tonite .. .so the stress level is at max that I have been duped.
Please give me some suggestions on how to fix this.
RE: New Resmed S10 wont start after 1 use
If the screen will not illuminate, then I suspect the power brick or cord. Since you got it from the US, it likely has a US power cord with two parallel flat blades. How did you adapt that to the Oz socket. Did you use an adapter; or find a cord that has the Oz plug on one end and will plug into the power brick at the other end?

Is the green led on the brick lit up?
Take a look at the center pin of the plug at the end of the dc output cable.

Sounds like you need to seek recourse with the seller. Wish I had a better alternative, but at this point, I don't.

You need to talk to the people at the place where you got it about this problem.
Good luck on getting this resolved.

The light on the top of the machine is stop/start button, does the machine start if the button pressed?
Quote from the first post ... "Even when I put the mask on the unit wont start"
You'll need to enable "SmartStart" from the clinical menu, for the machine to start automatically when you breathe into the mask and stop when you remove the mask
I got my machine from overseas too, I use an S8 power cord from
Supplier #13 http://www.apneaboard.com/forums/Thread-...plier-List , also the cord of the old S9 works too

When I press the button at the top of the machine nothing happens .. the unit is till inactive .. but that light is still on ... I will see if I can source another power supply to try

Try that and if no change, the machine might be faulty and have to be shipped back for replacement
Did you check run hours on the machine? new machines should be zero hours
