where is the positive solar input screw?

Jay I have 4 of these Might Mules for several years now. I am going to give you my answer that worked after I vent. Mighty Mule has an advantage because of market share -- the clicker, parts, batteries, etc. all at Home Depot, Tractor Supply, etc. And they have been reasonably reliable. I can see from the DVR and magazine size instruction booklet that they have had customers provide feedback that the user interface is not "5 star". At least it is not for me. I think I finally assumed in the black and white documentation that black meant black and white meant red and put the black into the insert toward the top and red (or positive if using different color wire) is beneath it. I think I reversed it once and the good thing is it just blows the fuse which is easy to change. Another good thing is you have the 500 which is way easier to deal with than the 350 by far. I have two other things to add. When the thing starts beeping at some point (and it will) the first guess is always the battery, they go out between 1-2 years. Sometimes it will jam and it will be necessary to unhook the arm and manually screw it in a few rounds or so to get it unjammed then hold the close set button down to clear then reset the closed position. Reading the beep sequence guide in the manual was, for me, interesting. I hope Mighty Mule has a social media group that reads these posts and will see I am not flaming them. If I bought a 5th unit it would be a Mighty Mule. BUT, I would pay them $100 to get a "500 Plus" for which there was an LED read out of status, well marked and easier interfaces. I have to pull out the manual every time one of my 4 goes on the blink. Come on Mighty Mule ... congrats on achieving market share dominance now fortify it by improving user interface. Hire someone from Apple engineering to oversee moving to a more fool proof (I am the fool here, not Jay) interface.

On the bottom it shows tip positive and 6V DC @ 80 mAAnyone find a compatible power supply?

Unless the design has changed you do not need to take out any screws to activate the batteries. I just twisted off the very top part (the part that has the sun sensor window on it) turned it upside down and the white globe and two battery compartments are right there. The blocking paper/plastic strips were clearly visible on the new lamp. If there were none on your lamps I can only assume they are defective.

Left side. Ist battery put pos end in first, repeat with 2nd battery on top of 1st,On other side do the opposite. Put neg end in first, repeat with 4th battery,Battery configuration form a "U" shape .With cap off you should see neg end on left and positive end on right With batteries on same configuration on each side.Make sure you align batteries with metal part in cap when screwing on. Wish I could draw a diagram

The center pin is negative and the outer rim is positive. Most DC power supplies are center-negative, but a few are center-positive so check the supply before you plug it in. There will be a diagram on the power supply telling you which configuration it is.

I don't have one in front of me, but the labels are on the side of the swithch. There is a ground blade, and that provides the circuit for the internal light. There is a (+) blade and that is where you connect the power input and there is an (A) blade and that is where you connect your "power supply" to the device you want to use. A note of caution: the light indicating the "on" position is VERY poor and frankly, only on a VERY DARK night are you going to see it. Further, they are advertised as "16 amp" switches. Don't think I would go anywhere near that! Also, they are VERY FRAGILE. and can be damaged easily. Suggestion is to fit the spade you are going to connect to it to another blade to "open the spade slightly, otherwise you are going to break a few switches. I am using them, but much more trouble and I will trash them.

Steve d: At the top of the pole are a couple of screws,remove them,and the and then take the top piece out,unscrew the Knob or Eagle from the nut,when that is done,you will have the bolt in hand,just slide the bolt thru the hole in the LED solar flagpole light(which will accept up to a 1/2 inch bolt),and do the reverse of what you had done to remove it from your flagpole. The light will accept up to a 1/2 inch bolt,I have a 20ft high,4 section expandable pole and it works fine on my pole,as long as the bolt is 1/2 inch in size on the top for your light,it shouldn't matter as to how tall your flag pole is,as far as I have seen so far,a 1/2 inch bolt is pretty universal on all flag poles.

Two screws in an area (wood preferably, but any sturdy material) close to an outdoor electrical source. We have it outside all year long.

Side panel on the power pack pops off and the solar panel connection (standard plug) plugs right in. That simple!! I love it!!

The output is a standard Dean's plug. So the slot closest to the white balance plug outlet is the positive lead.

Which peace are you asking about, the solar part or the security light itself? The solar should have 4 holes for for screws and to for the light.

Can't recall. I never had a special screw for any PSU in any of my builds. So I sugest using the ones that come with the PSU.

Not exactly sure what you are asking...the negative lead from the battery hooks to chassis ground. The positive typically goes to the starter solenoid along with other power terminals.

There is a small piece of plastic across the power input terminals under the battery. This must be removed for operation.

There are little screws on the bottom. One is for the battery compartment, one is not. You can tell by looking at them which you need. :)

I haven't installed it yet, but I read through the manual sometime ago. I do recall there being info regarding solar setup. I know there is a solar button on the panel.

There are copper dots on the back of the panel which are marked with a + for Positive and - for negative. The labels are hard to see in low light... you can solder your leads directly to the copper dots.
