[QUOTE="Doc Hudson, post: 442726, member: 1607"] I would guess that the original fault is a broken neutral and the sockets are either a radial or a spur off a spur, so sockets stop working. Then you have got your terminations crossed over when trying the new face plates. So you now have a Live in the wrong terminal, but a broken neutral somewhere else on the circuit, so nothing works but you still have 230v sitting on parts of the circuit. You need a proper voltage and continuity tester and someone who knows how to use them to do a few dead tests on the circuit to locate the problem. Doc H. [/QUOTE]
