    Car 12v Battery Charger - Should I try and fix?

    Show make/model of charger along with photos inside and out, as well as both sides of the pc board. Any close up (for example fuses quoted) should be previewed before posting to ensure clean sharp photos. Be aware before you even begin, any switchmode type supply repairs are not for beginners...

    RTC slows down after a few minutes and doesn't keep the correct time pace

    If a dry cell is fitted to the ds3231 without disabling the charge circuit, that too could be loading the supply voltage to the point of failure.

    RTC slows down after a few minutes and doesn't keep the correct time pace

    You will find the ds3231 is an accurate device. Suggest you build a basic circuit with just the ds3231 and the arduino, upload some basic code and verify via the serial monitor. Also read intro at top of the forum pages.

    Part Identification in a radiosurgical unit (RSU)

    If such a thing exists, I doubt you'll find such a thing here. Maybe try instructables.....

    USB port dead, need ref on part

    Could be a bit tricky for a beginner to fit, even with the correct part. Perhaps think about using an old usb lead and solder the cables direct to the 4 pins.

    Multiple 5v relays inline

    Also, some relays will have a freewheeling diode installed and incorrect coil connection will cause the diode to short the supply.

    Part Identification in a radiosurgical unit (RSU)

    Regardless, it would be unusual for a series inductor coil in power section to cause fuse to blow.

    Multiple 5v relays inline

    Place coils in parallel, use a power supply sufficiently sized for all 6 coils (plus about 50% margin to allow for inrush current). No idea where you are measuring power or how your connections are made so supply a photo and a pencil sketch of everything.

    Part Identification in a radiosurgical unit (RSU)

    I would take a guess and say it would not conform with any medical grade certification given the board is a bit of old veroboard type material, bit like a knock-up proto-type.

    Remove test/compare with inductance tester. 101 being 100uH.

    Black Screen Issue on My Samsung QLED TV

    To quickly verify backblight fault, shine a torch on an angle across the screen. If you can see any image, it is a backlight problem. Search Google for common backlight problems on your model monitor.

    NiMh charger?

    Used one like this for 30 odd years.......mine goes from 1 to 8 cells. 15v dc supply and simply adjust the current, no voltage adjust necessary. https://www.electronicecircuits.com/electronic-circuits/ni-mh-ni-cd-adjustable-constant-current-charger/
