** If your iPhone is having trouble with a replaced touch screen detecting input properly, it's normally because the new screen is not fully seated into its connectors. Giving it a good thump against your hand should work if you don't have a screwdriver handy.

* At the beginning of ''Film/{{Jack Frost|1998}}'' (the family version, not the serial killer version), Creator/MichaelKeaton's character is going to a music gig with his band but then decides to go back to watch his son's hockey game. His best friend gives him his car. A snow storm starts, and the guy is trying to see where he is going. Then the windshield wipers stop working. This is when he tries PercussiveMaintenance on the dash to try to get them working again, as his friend showed him before. Unfortunately, he loses sight of the road and drives off a cliff.
