Loose electrical connections. It could be batteries, it could be a broken solder joint, or any of a number of similar things. Smacking the device shakes all of those internals, hopefully re-establishing a broken connection in the device. Unfortunately, it also contributes to the creation of more loose electrical connections, so it’s a losing proposition in the end.
