Software update turned my display and mouse upside-down, says user

werdsmith Silver badge

Way back we had terminals with an internal PSU that supplied -12V GND +5V +12V.

Took a 6 inch 12V fan and superglued a threaded nut to one blade so it was way off balance, cable-tied it loosely to the underside of the operators desk and wired it across the -12V and +12V.

When the terminal was powered on the off balance fan hammered against the bottom of the desk and it almost started walking across the floor.
