Mains Box related (possibly a MCB)

[bigpants73]

My RCD tripped on my Mains Box and was reset and since then my Cable box has not worked. I have now discovered that my Xbox which has been stored away does not work either.


I have reset the RCD and have tried the cable box in different sockets around the house. All other appliances work in these sockets including, phone chargers, TV, DVD player, Home phone etc. As far as the set up for the mains box goes, I have 2 switches dedicated for sockets.

Any ideas?

I tried changing fuses in the plugs. Could it only be a certain type of plug?

So the cable box and X box dont work?

could the cable box have caused a fault that destroyed itself and tripped the RCD? If the cable box does not work elsewhere I would strongly suspect you need a new one.

Was it THE RCD that tripped or was it the MCB for the sockets?

TBH I was not there. I think it may have been the MCB for the socket.

I also suspected that it may have blown the Cable box but that doesn't explain the XBOX which wasn't plugged in.

I have the cable guys Coming round on Saturday anyway but wanted to save them the trouble.
