Oxycon help

[clasicat]

Has anyone else had this problem? I have no lights showing on my oxycon apart from the green power light  When I fired it up the green normal light came on it then started fluctuating between green and amber I then taped the oxycon incase it was just a loose connection  and now I have no monitor lights at all !! I have tried switching everything off and restarting but still no lights it seems to be working ok otherwise
Helppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp Just thought i would ask here before I contacted Martin

Claire - you shouldn't really put any tape (PTFE) on the oxycon as I understand it as oxygen and oil (which is in PTFE) is supposed to be a dangerous combination. No doubt someone will correct me if I'm wrong but that was what I had understood from my reading round this.

sorry shouldn't laugh! Aren't forums just wonderful?
I sometimes get that problems with texts if the texter hasn't read their own message 

The amber light is of more use when being used for its original purpose, i.e. being inhaled I think.

Mine plays up sometimes, lights and all that, the amber light is nearly always on with mine, apparently some of them run like that.

It normally switches itself off after about 5 mins, I switch it on again and second time it generally runs fine, I really need find out what's going on with it, but you know how it is, if it works just carry on and all that

My Oxycon doesn't like the cold, which is not uncommon, so I warm up my shed for a while before turning it on (and I tuck the oxycon up at night with a blanket).  This does help to get it started, and I usually get an amber light when it is cold, but eventally, after about 20 minutes of use it changes to the green light.  Sometimes when it is really cold I get the red light coming on, so then I turn the oxy off and wait a few minutes before trying again.  Seems to work fine after that!

Just a quick question about oxycons, do they need to be serviced at all?  I have to admit I don't know how they work, I'm just glad that they do .  If they do need servicing, who would I take it to?

Like you I'm not sure what the lights are about either but as the oxygen keeps on coming I've ceased worrying.
