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. 😂

Dry solder joints. On old TV’s sometimes components worked loose from age and heat. Bashing the sweet spot jiggled the part back into place.
It was common enough in older electronics that the official fix for an early Apple PC was to drop it from a height of two inches
