8 pin SMD with blown hole in the casing. Top mark , very indistinct maybe 2
lines
0h963
0h37

maybe very stylised 4 instead of h, logo very indistinct. My first guess is
a 555 but pinning not standard
p3 ground, p8 +12V, pin 1 to a 10uF cap , other end to 0V, p5 tied to p6
goes to speed change pot with also a line from the pot to p1. No obvious
output trace.
Removed the device and internal connections between p2 and 3 presumably
fried , and also p6 and 7
Other device is a 16 pin with ident scraped off or the conformal coating
dissolved off.

In passing , a 8x5x3 mm fuse with bo encapsulation , mainly 2 bare Al plates
with something between. Working order measures 0.18R +/-.01R, marked/punched
in the Al
100
B7L
never seen anything like it before
make/series/value?

The fuse is surface mount , I suppose as high current draw, if only
intermittant ,it has to be quite high current, perhaps 10 amp from the 100
marking. Top face 8x5mm bent down the 3 mm over the other plate to one pad
and the other smaller plate , about 6x45mm to the other pad and some thin
material in between

of this form, polyswitch

perhaps 10 amp version

The main 14 pin SMD has no trace to 12V but p1 goes to this 8 pin SMD which
is connected to 12V so presumably some sort of current or voltage control
requiring 0 and 12V and the pot connection changes the current/V, not the
speed from "Normal" setting to "Turbo" at the top of pot range, and the
output somehow chopped or something from the 12V , smoothed by the 10uF.

Those polyswitch resetable fuses may have problems in hot conditions.
Breathing on this one for 5 sec raises the 0.18R to double or so and a
soldering iron barrel switched off and cooled for 2 minutes, laid on it, is
enough to raise to kohm. Alternatively useful highly non linear thermal
sensing elements.

So far have not found a buck boost L-free version of DC to DC converter ,
step down, IC, presumably made variable via use of the pot rather than a
zener. L free version of Maxim MAX758,830,724 or 726 if anyone knows of
something that fits the bill?
This fence is stated to run on 9V as well as 12V battery so I suppose i/p 5
to 15V and output perhaps 6 to 13V or so
