I have had this sweet machine for several years. It has finally stopped working. I know I can replace it with many other machines,but I like its brook the best of any,...it is small and packs easily. Does anyone know what would need to be fixed?.?Evidently they are not made anymore,I checked several sources. Sources show pictures,but machines not available.
Hi Bernice, I looked on eBay and Amazon but no luck. So, my advice would be to find local electronics repair shops and give them a call. Get rough estimates and take it from there.

I use sounds on my cell phone, a lot of different sounds and you can change the pitch ect...
Just in case- here's another small, easy to take with you option- https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013KH2H0A/ref=dp_sp_detail?psc=1
Most small appliances are not meant to be fixed. The cost of repair is more than the cost of buying new. Now you know why we are called the "disposable society". Look on Amazon for a similar item.

Hi Bernice. My name is Danny. I have an AA Degree in Electronic Technology. I know I could fix your white noise machine. Only thing is, I live in Reno Nevada. Can you tell me what happened and what was the machine doing when it went out?
I have had my same sound machine for 25 years and use it every night. Several years ago it quit working and I used a can of compressed air and cleaned it thoroughly top and bottom and it has continued to work for me. It's worth a try. Good luck!
Hi Bernice,
I'm in California and there's a chain of stores by the name of Bed Bath & Beyond. They carry the white noise machines and they even carry the Homedics one which I have reaso to believe it to be a descent brand. I bought one just like this one for my husband at Target. I don't know if Target still carries them, but I do know that Bed Bath & Beyone still carry them. My husband loves his. Good luck!
Since the machine runs on batteries (the pkg looks like small hearing aid batteries) I am wondering if the area where the battery is inserted just needs a good cleaning out? Over time, dust, lint, and build up could be impeding the battery connection.
HHmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm don't know.
you can attempt to find the customer service information for the company and see if they have a preferred repair place near you, or they can let you know how to replace it
If you have Internet and a tablet you can listen to the same sounds from Internet ststiond. Cslm, radio yuned, googlr, pandora all have relaxation and nature sound stsyions.
Bernice, I was just thinking about your response from Amazon about it not being in stock and didn't know if they were going to get it back in stock. I had that happen to me before and I just left the product in my list and when it came back in they would let me know. It's like, if no one wants onw why have them in stock. Plus another seller may come on Amazon that has some or even one for sale. Try that and let me know what happens. Just a thought.
Dear Bernice, my advice will be also to find some good repairer or buy a new thing. I know, that some things are very precious for us, but alas they can not stay with us forever!
