      @piersonhall9197 4 года назад +16

      Years of vibrations, ie all the small and large impacts ranging from dropping to the ground to simply the open and closing of a laptop can knock things out of alignment. While many functions are handled electronically nowadays rather than mechanically, they still contain contacts, cable connections, and device components plugged into one another that can, even with slight misalignment become inoperable and percussive maintenance is valid and safe way to realign components if done properly. This is something that I use daily when working on production machines that run constantly day and night on a production line and gears and contacts move over time and can cause malfunctions. It cases where delicate sensors is not involved it is one of the first methods we use to attempt to correct misalignment to hopefully avoid having to shut machinery down for lengthy amounts of time.

    • @TheReaverOfDarkness
      @TheReaverOfDarkness 4 года назад +3

      @Juggled Lotus No, this is a real thing. The contacts are designed to stay in place, so the percussive force has a high likelihood of jarring them lose of whatever friction is currently preventing them from aligning properly, and allowing them to seat naturally. It only works because they are designed for it to work.
