I've actually done that..well, kinda the opposite. I banged on the PSU with the handle side of a screwdriver.

Soon enough nothing in my room that was electronic didn't work anymore. That thing was giving out radiation or something.

I didn't even have to do that, Antec True 550 died on Monday of it's own will. No screwdrivers necessary. :p
