do magnetic fields RUIN electronic goods?

i have some items which stopped working after I hadn't used them for a while. like a printer on top of a subwoofer next to a computer and the power point. and other things stored by an elctricity meter/ switchbox. the printer definitely has a mental problem with its circuits, and electromagnetic corruption is all I can think of.
on some courier parcels of computer goods it says do not store near strong electrical or magnetic fields.
 
Magnetic fields of everyday strength should only harm magnetic storage (disks, fairly common in modern computers, so I've been told 🙂), and at a stretch, maybe some types of RAM (perhaps printer firmware?), but I doubt it. Maybe your printer is just teh suck.
 
well I read of a lady's computer that would keep crashing. it was because she decorated the PC case with fridge magnets. 😱
