Well I'm blowed! :o :o :o :o

So my crude "repair" may just have done some good! :o :o :o :o ;D ;D ;D :)

Brilliant.  It is certainly running very quiet now! 8) 8) 8)

Some years ago now I got a TV working again with the same method! :) :)

Dodgy valves, I remember my Dad used to have to hit the TV sometimes, in 'just the right place'  :D :D :D

I used to work with a bloke who, if the IT dept couldn't sort his problem over the phone, would grab the keyboard and smash it across all the accessible components until something happened. Didn't care what.
After a couple of instances of this, he was the only person in the company who got his complaints dealt with immediately!

May I remind you who won? ;)

I agree I had a few cuts on my knuckles, but the Laserjet came off worse.

Parts of said Laserjet have now been welded into the lawnmower, so it went to a good home.

Cant fault you Lizzie, I used to fix my Fisher video by picling it up at one end end dropping it back on the table, if it didnt work I then picked the whole thing up and dropped it on the table.   ::)

If your PC is shutting down when its then consider the CPU cooler and the fact it may well be full of dust, I sorted one out last week and the fins were chokka.  Kevins is a good idea, but you might find in easier to get a tin of Air Duster from the likes of maplins (or ebay)(2 x tins works out a ted more exspensive inc delivery)  :y
