[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 488770, member: 6969"] The lever thing you are talking about is the RCD. If that is tripping you have a fault on one of the circuits that it feeds, which may or may not be the socket circuit you have been working on. Check the sockets you have worked on VERY carefully to make sure no wires are pinched as you screw them back. Don't discount coincidence. Unplug EVERYTHING in the house and see if it will reset. If it does then plug items back one by one until you find what makes it trip. Of course you could just call an electrician who has the test gear to actually make measurements to see what is wrong and will fix it a damn site quicker. [/QUOTE]
