I bought a solar fountain a few years ago from a garage sale. It's a small fountain (four small pots pouring into a large pot) and the panel powers a six watt pump. The fountain worked fine until this year. The pump powers on when a regular battery is connected. I'm going to connect a multimeter to see if there's any power to the solar panel (I've never used one, so waiting for husband to get home). Are there any online guides for repairing these? There are no cracks in the glass and it doesn't appear to be clouded. Everything I see online seems to be for massive house-sized panels. I'm not even sure if it's worth too much investment as it was $5 five years ago. But it's pleasant to listen to, so I'd like to try. I'm happy to post pictures, if it would help. It looks like this, but the connector to the panel is different.
