Has your solar patio light stopped working? Fixing a patio solar light circuit board is fast and easy when you have the right tools. Most commercial patio solar lights are relatively cheap items used as decor for gardens and front yards, and under extreme heat conditions wires can melt off of the circuit board leaving the light faulty and useless, but fixing it saves another piece of plastic and metal from landfills and saves the owner a couple of bucks!
