Are you capable of safely working with LIVE cables - because this is the only way to sort it out now. You will need at least a multimeter. If you want me to guide you through it I will help but will not accept any responsibility for your safety.
If this is beyond your actual abilities PLEASE call an electrician.
If you understand and still want help email me: allsortsdisco@yahoo.co.uk
