can you charge energizer batteries even though the back says do not charge? Does it really matter, will it explode?

ive had several sets of earbuds in within the las year and they all have the same problem - after a couple months, sound only comes out of the left ear. its the same thing every time, always the left ear.

it makes me so mad i wanna throw my ipod on the ground. i pay $20 for some nice sounding buds, and i expect them to work for at least a year. i havent had this problem with any other headsets, only earbuds.

why is it doing this?

I'm not an electronics expert but I am trying to build a low voltage battery operated circuit where voltage is normally present but does not do anything (ie doesn't light an LED) and when that voltage goes out, I need something else to turn on (ie and LED). So basically I guess I need some kind of switch or relay that doesn't let voltage through until there is no power through one of the three wires.

I have a power supply which outputs at 1.2A and I want to power something that uses 12V but at 500mA. I was told I could burn out my electronic item by using that power supply. Is there a simple circuit I can build to lower the amps from the powersupply from 1.2A to 500mA? Thanks in advance!

you know how you can blow out a speaker by playing a song too loud, by the same token, can you blow out a microphone on a digital camera or some recording device by recording something too loud?

In my parents' room, there's a fan that sits on a nightstand. The wire is always plugged in. One time while watching TV(fan was off), the fan suddenly went on High power by itself. In order to do that, you'd have to press the High button. How come it went on by itself? It never did that before.

I am trying to take a small LCD screen that has 3 thumbwheel potentiometers on the side of its case...and mount the LCD screen (absent the case) where these thumbwheels can't be reached. I want to buy some same-value panel mount pots and knobs so I can solder them into the circuit but mount them away from the screen, in an accessible manner. I have the screen on order and don't yet know the values of the Brightness, Contrast and Color pots. Anyone have a good source for these? I don't think there is any way to mount the thumbwheels to make them accessible, but I'm open to suggestions.... Thanks.
For the curious, this application is in a motorhome and the LCD screen is mounted behind the dash. The exact 5.6" replacement for my defective screen costs $800 and only has a brightness control (panel mounted shaft)...but I can buy the same quality screen for $41 in a case with the 3 controls, but they are awkward to use. I'm thinking this solution will be a lot less $$.
