Mfw. Do you manage to summon some kind of diy super power when this happens and manage to fix the unfrickable? There's been a few times this has happened and I've repaired something that should not ever work again.
Not OP, but I can recall more than a few times where shit was fricked and I fixed it through expert application of percussive maintenence. Luckily I don't do this shit for a living, I'm just the guy that my family calls to fix large appliances and small electronics. If only they knew that I kicked the frick out of their dishwasher while they were away, or that I slammed their nintendo controller on my desk, or that I aggresively slammed the switch up and down on their toaster. They all think I'm fricking macgyver kek
F-16As had an air bearing for the environmental control system turbine which long ago would harmlessly stick sometimes when sitting.
Some bright Airman discovered if you beat the forward left bulkhead in the landing gear bay they'd release and work fine, then it became approved practice. Once it's spinning a fricktillion RPM it wasn't gonna stick.
The horror on new pilots faces when they saw one of us beating the frick out of the bulkhead with a wooden chock was priceless.

Wipes corrosion off contacts. Rapidly cycling sliding and rotary switches is legit.
>go to new customer to do some small changes to their conveyors >fry the control board of one of them by mixing up the power and sensor connectors >manager comes over asked what happened >tell him I have no idea >production can't run anymore because its a special weighing conveyor >manager freaks out tells me it'll be weeks or months before getting a replacement >dozen production people come out start trying to figure shit out >admist the chaos i tell the guy i'll be back >sneak out the front and never hear from them again
woopsies
yea exactly, and they were right beside each other
Its OEM stuff though and those are always designed by fricking idiots who just copy and paste 40 hours a week without expending one second of thought towards their designs
I fix dents on cars for a living. To fix most dents on the side of a truck bed, you have to pop off the plastic cap that runs along the length of the top of it. The clips that hold it are super fragile so they usually end up breaking. Thankfully its nothing double sided tape won't fix.
>yeah we need to turn this triangle peg into a square one because it doesn't fit into the circle hole >oh btw this is the only one we have so dont frick it up
boy do i not miss working and a tool and die maker

Percussive maintenance is fun.

they shouldn't be using the same connectors anyways.

I do this at my shop all the time. We repair luggage sometimes, and I break that shit like there's no fricking tomorrow.
