The slamming works because it puts the film of the screen back into position. It works sometimes and should be used if all else fails. Normally the way I have seen it done is to use the PALM of your hand and HIT the side of the screen. In other words as you are in front of the screen give the hard plastic edge 2 or 3 hard whacks…in a side ways direction. Think of clearing the screen of one of those old etcher stretcher toys.
