In light of this post http://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?ForumId=49&TopicId=11082&page_no=2 I thought it would be a great idea for a thread if people post the crazy ways that they've made something work again. I'll start it
We had a car stereo with very odd wiring once and speakers would randomly cut out and we couldnt figure out any broken contacts/wiring. One day when we were down to just front-left I had enough & thumped the unit. From that day on all four speakers worked great.
