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. 😂
In: Technology
There are multiple possibilities depending on what exact was wrong with the TV, but the two most common are these:
Loose connections, sometimes as wires or connections came loose or degraded, slapping it was enough to Jostle them back into the right place and fix the connection.
Or things being seated incorrectly or aligned incorrectly. Old school TVs required all the components to be aligned so the correct pixels got activated. If anything wasn’t aligned correctly it would mess up the display because the wrong pixels would get activated. Smacking it could make things bounce back into their correct place.
