[SPARCbook] Lost it's sync?

[Eric Busto]

I had a similar problem not that long ago.  Trying to fix, I took the unit 
apart and checked for a loose connection or something, no go.  Eventually 
all I did was when it screwed up like that, beat it against something (the 
outerside casing, near the latch, so as to not damage the LCD).  Personally, 
I beat it against my Sun monitor, which I have my sparcbook sitting in front 
of.  Note that its just a gentle tap.  Not sure why this fixes it, but its 
worked fine since except a few rare occasions every few months, in which I 
have to tap it again.
