Banging will not bother anything IMO (I don't bang hard).
I bang hard and fast with no problems.

Same here.......Loud noise coming from 'puter.........bang the hell out of
it.........noise stopped........pat self on back and say "I sure fixed that
sucker........:-)

Reminds me of a friend (honestly, it wasn't me!) who used to have a 14"
or 15" CRT monitor that was starting to fail. One of the colours would
stop working and/or it would start to emit a high pitched squeal.....
the way he fixed it was to whack it so hard on the side that it almost
fell of the table.... either that or whack the top of it so hard that it
nearly went through the (mainly) plastic desktop case that it sat on :)
Surprisingly, it (and the P2-350 base unit it sat on) took years of
this abuse. It was probably just a dry joint that needed resoldering on
the back of the tube but I didn't tell him that or I'd have got myself a
job!
