I have "fixed" many things simply by taking them apart to see if I can figure out what's wrong and, finding nothing obviously broken/disconnected/etc., putting them back together again. I think sometimes the technology just wants a little attention. It also helps to let it know you don't fear it and have no qualms about digging into its guts if it misbehaves.
This is why whenever I buy a new computer, I set it up and get it running and then disassemble/cannibalize/trash the components of old rig right in front of it. Just so it knows what happens to machines I don't like any more.
