#nerdalert #smd #helpneeded #electronics #fixer #repair Has anyone got a steer on what this is, I’m drawing a blank. It’s on the power supply board for a heating system. The DF04S that feeds it is blown, so is a 78M05 nearby (as well as 3 opto isolators). Suspect a lightning strike.

#maker #loom #3dprint #repaircafe #local today I redesigned yesterday’s design for a friends loom - they had misplaced the pawl for the tensioning mechanism on one end.
Had to relearn #freecad as it’s been a while!
The image shows two plastic tools: one pink and one green, both with angled edges and holes near the middle. They are resting on a textured dark surface.
