So that’s a fun term. Originally it referred to the bundles of hay wire uncoiling themselves in a rapid manner. They’re coiled and kept under compression and when you snip it lose it goes SHUBADUBLEWUBLEDUBLEABLE.
technical term
In use for marketing purposes it’s intentionally vague. It’s basically claiming that the electronics inside won’t catastrophically fail unexpectedly.
Well, shit, now I want to know if there was an accepted definition, either in industry or among enthusiasts, for what circuits going “haywire” meant.

Have you even owned a old analog TV?
It’s been decades, but yes, some that even responded to “percussive maintenance.” I just don’t know if that amounts to “haywire,” lol.
I actually forgot I used to bang on my old TV to clear the picture. I wonder how simple it would have been to actually fix it.
Haywire is when the TV needs to be tuned. I’m talking about adjusting those knobs.
