SD card malfunction with ResMed S9
Out of the blue, when I tried to use my cpap the other night, I couldn't get past the screen reading: "SD card in use. Do not remove SD card or turn off machine." I've noticed this alert come on in the past, but it goes away in a few moments. Now, it is stuck there.
So how long do you sit at a broken red light? After several minutes I tried turning off the machine and removing the sd card and re-inserting. Same problem. My memory is not clear now, but through some combination of actions, I may have finally got a message that said "to use cpap, remove SD card". Anyway, that is what I did, and the machine worked OK after I did that. I presume I am just not recording data as I should be.
So perhaps the best solution is just buy a new sd card, with the understanding a lot of old data will be lost. But, what happened? I have not dropped the machine lately, and have not had the sd card out of the machine for a few weeks. We travelled cross country, and I did not want to drag the machine into each motel, so I had not been using it for a while. I want to say the machine still worked properly the first time or two after I unpacked it, but I cannot be sure of that.
Another possibly related issue is that I have not been able to reset the clock to the new western time zone. The display tells me I have an entered an invalid time due to the fact data has already been recorded for the time entered. The only solution is I have set the calendar to one day later, but now have the time of day correct.
I am sorry if this has already been covered. I tried to do a search for this issue, but there were too many results to be useful.

) in case that matters. I have previously downloaded SD card data to Sleepyhead, and it was able to do that again today, even though my S9 doesn't like my card any more. I have not tried to download Oscar software yet. But at least my historical data is backed up on Sleepyhead.
