Do I have to take the small Phillips Head screws out to turn it on? If so I am going to have to buy a smaller screwdriver to do it. :(

No. Under the lid is a small plastic tab you have to pull out. Once you do that the sun will charge the battery and you will be ready to go. It turns on when it gets dark...but as I said you must pull out that tab. Hope this helps. If not write me back. Good luck and enjoy your lights.

Now that you mention it, it was in there pretty tight. I did use the correct type of screwdriver to eventually open. Im looking at the screw that was rremoved and its stripped. I guess I will tread lightly next time the screw needs to be undone. This sounds like its a defect overall in the product workmanship. Good luck.

Hi. You have to press it pretty firmly into the socket. I was a bit cautious with that myself. Line it up and press it straight in.maybe turn as you press.

It requires a mini Philips head screwdriver. You can buy an inexpensive set locally at your local Wally World (Walmart) or Radio Shack; or order one from Amazon if you can wait. You'll end up using them for more than just this, since almost all modern electronics, as well as eyeglasses and sunglasses, use mini or micro screws

Twist the head down like you are screwing it on. Also make sure the batteries are installed correctly.

You need a small screwdriver, I believe a Phillips head, to open the battery compartment. You can replace battery. If it still doesn't turn on then you need to send back to replace.

I just bought one today at walmart and I stripped it too, and I was using the correct size screwdriver. Now I am not sure how I am going to get the battery compartment off without breaking it. I would never buy this again. I am wondering why they used a screw in the first place.

No you will not need a mini screwdriver. It snaps in place once apart. Good Luck! Just take your time and be careful.

I had a similar issue with mine as well. I had to really squeeze the housing together to get the screw to start. Can't be anymore help than that

You have to have a really tiny phillips screwdriver . there are two little screws 1 at the top and 1 at the bottom then when you remove them, they stay in and don't fall out.

Stick a Philips head screwdriver into the hole and wiggle it back and forth, it will come out.

I just pulled the plastic tab out, and it worked fine. I don't remember needing a screwdriver for now, but I don't know if it will be required when I get to the point of changing the battery, which won't be for a while.

I did respond but had a small error in my response. It uses a larger screwdriver if available. Most people have a #2 but a #3 is the size of the screw heads, however a #2 should do the job but may slip out occasionally. There are 5 screws. Put the center one in first loosely. Then install the remaining four loosely. tighten the center one then the four others alternately until you have them snugged down. Tighten the center firmly then the other 4 firmly going back around to insure that they are all tight. Upright it and use it and i expect you will like it like i like mine. Jimmy

Get yourself a long thin screw driver to get to the tiny screws. Unscrew, insert batteries, rescrew.

At the most basic level, you only need a phillips screw driver. However, I would highly recommend using a drill with a phillips head so you don't have to manually tighten all 64 screw.Hope that helps.Floyd Helm, President;G.E. Lumber, LLC

No Philips screwdriver needed. No quick connect fittings. I just reused the old quick connect fittings on the existing lines. Well, I replaced 2 of them.
