>TV has double image (pic related)
>Slam back near mobo
>Goes off
Happens nearly every time I turn it on now, but I don't want to get rid of it because it's otherwise a pretty quality Samsung LCD from 2008. Makes a pretty good back room TV.

>psp joystick starts moving on its own

>it works like normal
I have to do it once every few weeks, I would just buy a new psp but I've grown rather attached after almost 11 years.
I even tried opening and cleaning it but nothing else worked besides smacking it on the back behind the joystick.
Pic related, my psp.

Everything fine since then, though sometimes it starts up.
The trick is to turn him upside down and smack him on the back of the head.
My grandma bought this rocketfish HDMI splitter that uses the power lines inside of the house to distribute the video. She was only getting audio on the 2nd TV and for the longest time couldn't figure out why it didn't work. I thought it was an issue with HDCP so I bought a splitter that removes it. Turns out that was a waste, it didn't work. So I gave it a second look, I saw that on the sending end it was plugged into a multitap and on the receiving end it was plugged into a surge protector. Threw the tap into the garbage (obvious fire hazard) and plugged both ends directly into the wall now it works great.
Can't say I feel bad for all the retards bitching that it doesn't work on Amazon. They probably didn't even read the manual before they set it up. I'm sure it probably says something about it in there.

I have a usb keyboard plugged into an extension cable so I can type while in bed or in the chair near my bed. A few times a week I get the "USB device not recognized error" and it stops responding to inputs. When that happens I unplug the keyboard and blow on the USB plug like an old NES cartridge and then plug it back in and it works.
