Computer repair techniques
Permalink  

Techniques to try when your computer doesn't work:

1) "Audio repair technique" - shout at it.

2) "Vibrations adjustment" - shake it.

3) "Percussive therapy" - hit it.

4) "Hot swap repair" - switch it for someone else's, when no one is looking.

5) "Optical stimulation" - stare at it real hard hoping it magically works.

 

6) "Gravimetric adjustment" - drop it out a window.

I usually just put the HDD on the shed concrete floor and drop an 8lb sledgie on it. ;)

I use my 12 gauge, gives me a great deal of satisfaction when I finally give up on it, I keep threatening the new one as well, too bad it's deaf.
