What do I do if the calculator stops working since it is solar powered?

It just needs light. Not necessarily bright light either. I have several solar calculators that a several years old. Still work, no problem!

Mine works fine using the solar. I did notice the charge doesn't last long after the sun goes down though.

If it stops working (other than from a dead battery) we will replace the thermometer or refund your money-your choice.

I have never had to replace them; the Sundigits 5 Digit has been working like a charm for about a year, no issues. In fact, three of my neighbors purchased one as well and their solar digits continue to work well with no effort to date. Sorry, no issue so cannot really answer your question.

Before you return, try resting it by a window to charge the solar cells. I have found that if I don't use it for a while it may not come on until it gets a few minutes "in the sun". I think that it should not do that but after 10-15 minutes it was functioning, and for weeks.

It might be broken but it does not work unless it has direct sunlight. There is no rechargeable battery to store energy. I also bought a battery powered one for under $7.00 that uses a size D that I use on cloudy days. I turn it off at night but forgot about it and it ran for 3 days and was still running before I remembered to turn it off. I put the solar powered back on when the sun is shining. No sun no run.

I am currently trying to get it replaced because it stopped charging. Would recommend not getting the solar powered.

It takes button batteries only for the beeping sound that it makes when you press a calculator button or swipe the credit card. The calculator is solar-powered and will continue to work without batteries.

I have had no problems with my solar lampost. I have it just under 1 year. Maybe you need new batteries or check to see if they are snapped into place properly.

Like imheroldman said, plug in the little dohickey on the bottom into one of the SUN ports, put 2 batteries in it, click it on and your computer does the rest. I love mine, but I do turn it off after each use to save the battery life.

If it stops working, change the batteries. You should do that every so often anyway.

You have to do the initial charge on the computer, then in theory, the sun takes over. It worked once for me.

Yes. The calculator is fully functional on battery power. I don't know how long the batteries will last since I haven't had to replace them yet. It is just a pleasure not to have to be concerned with hooking upo AC, even when I am just using it at my desk.

No,you can just use the function of the calculator, like PV,FV. If you want it to be programmable, you may choose CASIO

I have similar issue. Are you using a solar panel to charge your battery? I am calling their support desk tomorrow.

if it is solar it doesn't need batteries. once you hook it up it should start beeping.

I had to upgrade to the latest OS. Worked fine after that. You probably have the solar powered option if you don't see a plug.
