Hey guys. I put this equation in the balancer. But it didn't work. Could you help me out ASAP?

H++HgS+CI-+NO3- ----> HgCl42-+S+NO+H2O

First you have enetered Cl as C(carbon) and l(iodine), and the second is that you most probably want NO3- instead of NO3-:
H+ + HgS + Cl- + NO3- = HgCl4-2 + S + NO + H2O
After these fixes there are no problem to balance this equation
8 H+ + 3 HgS + 12 Cl- + 2 NO3- = 3 HgCl4-2 + 3 S + 2 NO + 4 H2O
