Remember how the Fonz used to be able to turn on the jukebox by tapping it? My power switch went bad on my case and yeah, I can turn it on by bumping it, it was kind of funny at first, but yeah I'm waiting for a new case to come in, I wanted one anyway.

lol ...... just be careful. I once trashed a hard drive by smacking the desk my case was on.

 

I was playing a game (BF2 I think) and I got fragged or something .... of course I got pissed and smacked the desk .... Not that hard either.

 

But looking at your sig .... you have plenty hard drives to spare ! lol

Kind of did the opposite once;

 

I had a Tsunami Dream case that I added a large window to, well the window kit I got was so crappy the window would fall out once in a while and I would have to spend mad time fixing it just for it to eventually fall out again.

 

Well I put something heavy down on my old desk and the window started slipping again, so I punched it.. window shattered and the PC BSODed.. I jumped up and yelled "classy lady, you got knocked the xxxx out!!" That . was funny as all hell.

I have zapped PC's before with static shocks and rebooted them.

 

Me too. My last case, A Thermaltake v5000a, for some reason, everytime i touched it, i got zapped, and the pc either rebooted or said "FU", and shut down. Guess it got mad at me. I tried switching psu cords, making sure none of the add -on cards were touching the mobo panel, never could figure it out. Then it just stopped happening. Weird.

 

I don't have that problem with my new case though. I wuv it sooo much. Sometimes i just sit and look at it. :rolleyes:

I started using the "Fonzie" back when Compaq introduced their Presario "all in one" units.

 

They had a bad habit of losing the network device even though it was integrated onto the motherboard. Turned out to be a bad solder joint during manufacture.

 

We had about 150 of those things between two casino properties and the only way to get the network back online was to apply a single hit directly on top with the heel of your fist.

 

Worked every time.

 

Of course, I didn't know it was the "Fonzie" until the Executive Secretary to the General Manager said, "oh, just like Fonzie" after I reset her network.
