Afternoon
I’ve just moved house and a double socket in bedroom isn’t working. It has a single 2.5mm cable inside. With a neon screwdriver, brown shows live, with blue and earth not lighting neon up, like I’d expect. Socket doesn’t work, as in nothing plugged into it works. However, when I was using neon driver to flick out the little plastic screw head covers, it lit up, like the screws are live…wtf?! What is going on here? I don’t understand how a live cable, which seems to be spurred off the ring via junction box, isn’t powering the faceplate
