I was about to post about how my iPod screen had faded to nothing and
that I was miserable.

However, whilst trying one of the reset key combinations I accidentally
dropped it. "That'll help!" I said to myself.

But it did. The screen is working again. :-)

The technical term is "percussive maintenance".

God, you antipodeans do like to latinize plain English.

We called it an 'engineering thump'.

No, that's a hammer and chisel.

An adjustable spanner is of course a 'Birmingham metric'.
