There is always more than one way to skin a cat. This saying comes into play here because, with some products, you can use your imagination to fix them. Yet, that will very rarely be the case with solar lanterns. Look, you really need to know your stuff here if you want to manually fix a certain component that breaks. Honestly, your best bet is to see if the damage is covered under warranty. If not, it may be best to buy a different model.
