I try to follow the:
Proper Method for Fixin' Stuff:
1. If it's supposed to move and doesn't, WD-40!
2. If it's not supposed to move and does, Duck Tape!
3. If the above didn't fix it, or if you're in doubt, follow Jamie Hyneman's advice: C-4!

Unfortunately I never have any C-4 and get stuck just buying a new whatever-was-broken :cry:
