Hitting machines when not working

Well, I do! Sometimes it's out of frustration, but sometimes, it's more "strategic". Actually there's a term called 'technical tap'. It actually works sometimes; because, for example, there might be something in those electric connections a bit loose, giving the thing a technical tap could reestablish that connection. Of course, it's only a temporary cure =') So when all else fails, give one a technical tap, as a first aid, then call someone who knows what he's doing LoL! DISCLAIMER: I am not a certified technician :'p

I have slapped a device when it quit qorking on me, but I did not slap it hard enough to damage it. I am always afraid to make it totally unusable. My husband loses his temper though and when something does not work, it will never work again when he is done with it. He will hit it, slam it, and you name it.

so far i never broke down any devices, although there was problem happened. cause i see there is no any worth to do that. in those condition, better i change my activities for a while before thinking what should i do with those device

now thats something to talk about. its really funny but we do it always, and guess what it works most of the times. 80 out of 100 will agree this. coz every man does it. the 1st thing comes to mind is hit the machine if it stops working :P

I do this, then curse afterwards when i realize i broke the keyboard support, dented the computer case, broke a mouse connection, ect, ect. So i try not to do it anymore, as it usually makes it worse than better. I find throwing old CDs around is wonderfully stress relieving too.

Oh, actually I sometimes do that. Take computer as an example. When we move it from one place to another, the devices such as network card may get loosened which prevent your pc from booting proper. That usually happens to desktop computers in which the hardwares are not integrated wholly. Sometimes it works to give it a knock or a pat. Tell you a story about my TV. It rained for many days recently in my place. It may get moisture on the inner components and the TV did not work properly. The screen minimized itself horizontally to a narrow rectangle. We got very frustrated and had to turn it off. Later, I gave several knocks to it. To our surprise, it worked and the TV returned to its normal condition. Sounds amazing, doesn't it?

That can be very frustrating at times... but i have never done that... hit a machine for not working properly... i think instead of making thing work... it will just make it a lot worst... so i would just look for the technician guy... it one is available... or just go to the next device...
