: How does slapping an old tv make it work again?
In: Technology
Realized I’m showing my age the other day when I firmly knocked a broken device on a table a few times to see if it would start working again. My daughter asked why I’m hitting it if it’s broken. Uh. To fix it, duh.
Something about smacking broken electronics around was therapeutic. We should go back to that. Besides, if it’s truly broken then hitting it can’t do any more damage.
Now I wish a car guy would explain how hitting car parts with a wrench can make your car start again. When we were teens my husband had a truck that demanded he get under and whack the starter every morning.
