Have you ever dropped an instrument or electronic device and found it worked better after the impact ?

Question

I have a digital camera that now has superb macro capability which it didn't have prior to it falling from my pocket onto an asphalt road.

Answer 1

`Yes, this is because ever so often electronic components get loose or has some dust which cause a less than solid contact and so just the right jolt will sometimes correct things.

Answer 2

Haha...that's amazing!  I wish I had something happen like that happen.  The closest thing that's happened is I dropped my camera and it jammed up the lens so I popped it back in place then everything seemed to work a little faster on my camera.
