The back up camera on our 2012 car was flickering as I backed out of the driveway this morning. Instinctively, I gave it a gentle pound and like magic the screen started working as expected.
I vaguely remember this being a common practice to fix the screen tv screen when I was younger in the late 80s early 90s.
I’m curious what actually happens when you whack a TV or a screen to “fix” it.

On the inside of old TVs were little electronic circuit boards and wires, when they would get old sometimes those wires and the circuit boards wouldn’t have good connections anymore, by hitting the TV the wires would jump a little bit sometimes making them connect like normal again.
