Hi, I'm new, know very little, and I need help. I've had a quick look through the FAQ and checked Google for any previous answers but couldn't find anything, so here goes...
I have broken my electricity.
In a foolish and now aborted attempt to fit a new (flush) light to my landing I switched off the light circuits at the consumer unit, removed the existing ceiling rose, disconnected all the wires and...changed my mind. It didn't have the right connections, it wouldn't fit properly and, worst of all, it looked crap.
So, I reconnect all the wires, switch everything back on and...nothing happens. Upstairs lights work fine, sockets work fine but no lights work in the landing, stairs, bathroom or kitchen. The light in the lounge work, I'd guess they're connected to the upstairs circuit for some reason.
Anyway, switch everything back off, check connections. All are definitely in the right place and properly fitted. Go to consumer unit to try again...oh...the main switch has tripped. Switch it back on, switch light circuits back on, same result - everything works except the lights on the downstairs circuit.
Any clues apart from 'get a man in'? I thought the mcb for the downstairs lights may have gone in the consumer unit, but as I can switch it on and off I would guess not. Anything useful appreciated, and many thanks.
