There are some Bosch cordless drills whose cells could be replaced. Figure out which cells are suitable, get em ordered, replace the cells and make sure device works as expected
Lawnmower's immobilizer prevents using the lawmower. Disable the PIN code and claim the device. This job requires some specific skills - use Bus Pirate as SPI bus master to access the Flash chip on the device. First dump the existing firmware as-is. Enter the PIN incorrectly again and attempt to identify which part of the Flash counts the invaid PIN code attempts. Try to reset the counter first.
The MOSFET-s in power supply chain are fried. Attempt to figure out what went wrong and fix it.
The Smartboard pen picker was lost, there's connector for that. Find a replacement pen picker or 3D print one.
