The blue lights are blinking but unit will not turn on

The Respironics M Series unit may not be turning on despite the blue lights blinking due to a possible issue with the heated humidifier (HH) tank's heating plate. After three years of use, the heating plate could be faulty. The blinking blue lights might indicate an error state related to the humidifier. Swapping the HH tank with a new one could help determine if the issue is with the heating plate. Additionally, the problem might be related to power supply issues, as some users initially overlooked the humidifier being "DC powered."
