Explaining habits we often

Research has shown that flapping and beating devices only makes them more fragile.

Probably not many of us have a habit that when you see the TV controller is in good condition, it will not work, you will "unconsciously" clap it on the palm or shake it, sometimes remove the cover, rotate battery and try again in hopes it will work normally.

Sometimes, this job results in unexpected results - it seems that the controller has become more "obedient" . However, have you ever wondered why you or many people have that habit?

The fact is, according to scientists' research, the physical impact on a device that makes it work normally is a fairly common action in the past. The ways of impacting on old devices are quite varied, which can be flapping, banging, shaking or even kicking the device - the TV so that there is no noise.

Explaining more about this problem, researcher Mack Blakely of the Association of National Electronics Service Providers said: "In the old days, electronic devices were assembled together with pretty parts. gas.

However, because science and technology are not really developed, they are not closely linked. Therefore, slight shaking can help the clues to get together like at first. "

Specifically, loose welds can be re-connected when vibrated, patted. However, the effect of this job does not last long and the next time you continue to "tap - beat" the same device.

Today, some people still keep this thinking logic and apply it to devices. If by the end of the 1980s, the taping and beating of the device could temporarily connect loose connections, but now it could be a risk to make the device's condition worse.

Typically, a dam can cause the hardware part of the device to be affected, resulting in the entire part being damaged, which is hard to restore.

Mr. Blakely shared, with long-term experts, they could tap lightly to identify the gap in the circuit board. However, he stressed that tapping lightly, not patting, beating or any force exerted on the device.

The reason is that, the current electronic devices are made more sophisticated, the microchips are getting smaller. Therefore, strong bumps can make this electronic circuit break and break, making it more difficult for repair specialists to overcome.

In fact, a somewhat "violent" approach is used in the rescue of victims. Health workers can perform a precordial thump when the patient's heart stops beating.

At first glance, this action may seem rude, but with strong expertise, the right timing, the right technique can help the victims heart beat again. However, the application of this powerful method has little effect on today's devices.
