I purchased a birdbath solar fountain on eBay last November.So far it has not done anything.Any advice please?

There were no instructions, but assembly seemed quite straight forward so I positioned it in the sunniest part of the garden. However, nothing happened.


I emailed the seller, but received no response.


It was suggested by friends that there was not sufficient sun at that time of the year. It still has not done anything. I live in the Midlands in the U.K. Can anyone suggest anthing please?I purchased a birdbath solar fountain on eBay last November.So far it has not done anything.Any advice please?
My solar lights are working well, now that the sun has intensified - I'm also in the midlands.





An option could be to find a similar solar product and check to see whether the batteries match - if they do, you could try these instead, as a way of ruling out the batteries. Stores such as Wilkinsons do a refund if you're not happy with your purchase, and sell solar equipment too - buy a small product, if the battery matches, don't use the Wilkinson product. If the cheap new product's battery works in your birdbath, you could keep the new product, but have a - more expensive - working bird bath.





Otherwise, return the 2nd solar product from wilkinsons etc, unused, and get your refund. At least you tried out whether the batteries were at fault. You seem to have done everything else in your power, contacting the seller etc to now. You could follow ebay's complaint procedure, but I'm sure that this isn't your priority, just getting a working fountain.





Finally, if you know someone who is good with electricity, perhaps you could see if they could swap the 2 solar panels over, and see if that has any effect, during daylight.





Hope this helps. Good luck! RobI purchased a birdbath solar fountain on eBay last November.So far it has not done anything.Any advice please?
Alrighty then I asume that your put water in the fountain, turned it on and nothing happened. I would suggest to check the batteries. Most batteries used in solar are rechargable or needs a new battery.
try using a light source to determine if the solar cells are working.





A workmans portable light of appreciable wattage ought to do the trick. At least then you'll know if the thing is simply defective, or merely inadequate.
The fact that the Seller didn't answer your e-mail kinda suggests that he/she may not had been completely honest. See if there is a manufacturer name on it any where; then call them %26amp; ask. E-mail the seller again, too, %26amp; see if he/she will respond.
you can buy some food and spread it around your garden that wroks 4 me =)
find the on / off switch, then switch on?
did you put water in it ??
