Garden pond oxygenator

Bit of a random question, but hoping someone with a bit more knowledge might help. We've had a cheap solar powered pond oxygenator working for a few years now. Something like

Does the job, but it seems to be becoming more tempremental about starting. Either the motors or the solar panel is wearing out.

I can open up the motor casing and give the motors a jump start with some low powered AA batteries, and once I do this, it runs off the solar panel power as it should. Any Ideas about whether thr motors or the solar panel needs replacing, or ...

I do realise a new one costs £20, but would like to fix if possible.

Maybe a little blob of lube on the bearing spindle, if you can access it?

The reviews are pretty bad on the noise front.
Mine is fine, can't remember exactly which one it is, but they all must be fairly similar. Does the job for a small pond (with no electrical supply).
