How is it that our old TV gets fixed after I slapped it?

692 viewsOtherTechnology

I just remembered when I was a kid(Im on my 30’s now) we had this old “box style” television. As it got older, there were times that a white thing will appear on the screen. You can still watch the show but its annoying. Imagine watching your TV while having a white curtain in front of it. One day, I got extremely furious because I was watching Smackdown and slap the side of the TV. Then, it returned to normal. I kept doing the same solution I discovered every time the white thing appears on screen until one day it stopped functioning. 😂

Percussive maintenance still works today on certain things. Why buy an expensive car alternator when a couple of taps with a hammer will fix it? On electronics it basically has a chance of knocking contacts together where they should be (or the opposite, of course), or in mechanicals with moving parts like an alternator, has the chance of freeing up the moving part.
