What is the problem and what parts do yuou need?
There is a group called Awake In America that can sometimes provide CPAP machines to people who can't afford one.

Also, your machine information is not showing in your profile or signature.

Since in all likely hood your machine is no longer under warranty this maybe difficult to solve.
Probably your DME won't be of much help unless you are willing to pay whatever it may cost to fix the machine. Respironics typically won't take returns from patients without a DME involved in the mix.
Do you know what pressure you are at? Have you contacted some of your local charity programs such as Salvation Army, social services, etc? Have you contacted your local DME or sleep center to explain your situation? Does your community have a local online classified ad service? If so place an ad needing a cpap as yours is no longer working. Look on craigslist for one that is located near you -- you can pick up so good buys just be cautious in your dealing with strangers. Look on cpapauction for reasonable priced machines -- you will need to place your script on file with them which can be done easily by taking a pic of it and then emailing it to them.
Good luck.

Without a script you are caught between a rock and a hard place.
Do you know what your pressure settings are? If not it is going to be difficult to get any kind of help without another sleep study or the use of an apap.
Is the doctor around that wrote the original script? Would he be willing to write another script for you without an additional sleep study?
