A CPAP 10 years old like your Solo is likely too old to repair cost effectively since there are new machines appearing on the market constantly and everything now is geared towards replacement of defective electronics and not repair. There is, in my figuring, only one cost effective repair that sometimes needs to be done and that is replacement of the quarter sized back-up battery on the control board, deep inside the machine. If the battery goes dead, the program settings get lost. You did not describe the failure of your machine in specific words, but a CPAP completely dead that won't power up or a CPAP with a blower motor problem is probably not one with a dead back-up battery.
