Ring Solar Security Sign Not Working

Hi all.Been having trouble with two of my solar security signs. The first one had the strangest problem.Starting from the beginning, it worked fine for a month, but then the thing simply wouldn't light up at night. I figured it might just be an issue with the battery, so I went to a battery store and got a replacement. No luck.So I called up Ring support and they had me tell them the device code. So I picked straight it up (it is still on) and when I tilted it to look at the code, it lit up.So it was actually working, but only if it was orientated horizontally on its side and it did not work at all if it was orientated vertically standing up.Well Ring sent a replacement for me (really nice people on the support line) and I installed it on my lawn. Two days later, it seems the same thing is happening.I hold it straight up, doesn't light up.I tilt it to the side, it finally lights up.Does anyone know what is going on?

      My sign probably needs new batteries to power the solar sign but I can’t see where you can do that. Anyone know if you can change the batteries and how? Or do these just go to the trash once they stop powering up?

      I’ve ordered 2 from Amazon. Neither turn on.

    Hi neighbors. The Solar Security Sign is intended to work out of the box, and there's no troubleshooting steps I can provide. With sufficient direct sunlight during the day, the sign should illuminate at night. If this is not the case for you, please give our support team a call at one of the numbers available [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/213608406). If you are outside of the US, please visit [here ](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-gb/articles/213608406)to see how to contact support.
