I remember hitting my old tv to fix it. It really worked! Just smack it on the side and BINGO! it starts working correctly again. And I say that as the son of a tv repairman. Those were the good old days.

You ever notice how teenagers have this glitch in their occular muscle control, which causes a rolling of the eyes? Smacking them on the side of the head works for that, too (and, generally, the harder the more certain the result).

One of my former jobs was as a Squadron Communications/Electronics Officer.

One particular type of radio had a problem that was fixed by hitting the front of the radio in a certain spot with the handle of a screwdriver.

The Soldiers thought I was an electronics genius.

As a lad I remember my dismay when my dad would take our TV apart to repair it. When he’d ground the capacitor with a screwdriver was spectacular. Back when TVs were repaired.
