(read your script-its short-i cant really handle reading film script its so blunt - your scrp was ok nothing new -u could always make it into a short animation)

Turn other electrical items off - then try again

that's good, i wasn't aiming for anything more than a script to scrape me through college

Unplug other stuff in the room that uses a lot of electricity then try again. If you still have problems then it's probably a short in the wire somewhere or inside the vacuum.

You could also try in another room and see if it works there.

what he said

here all the lugs are on one side of the room and ive only blown a fuse twice...... not too bad

[manker]

Just replace all the fuse wires in the fuse box with regular wire.

You need never worry about tripping a fuse again. Your house may burn down, however :unsure:

[Mathea]

[manker]

I did it introspectively :blink:

[DarthInsinuate]

it's still not working, but the breaker does make a really cool spark when it activates

[DanB]

:01:

What about if you plug the hoover in a pulug in someone elses room?

[DarthInsinuate]

i would expect the same, i'll check later, i'm feeling anti-social right now, you twat

the kitchen doesn't have a breaker though - i'll try there

[DanB]

Go for it

[Mathea]

:blink: did i miss something?

[DanB]

I don't think so

[Mathea]

i think i did but okies if you say so

[DanB]

[Mathea]

Like what?

:o It should.

blown fuse or overloaded circuit... both good explanations. also, if you are having extremely damp weather in your area: too much moisture in the air can set circuit breakers off. if that's what's doing it, all you can do is wait for the weather to dry up a bit.

so you have triped a fuse?

just find the fuse and swich it off and on again, if im reading this right..

the problem is that it the vacuum cleaner keeps setting the fuse off, i can reset it (which is how i'm typing now :rolleyes: ), just can't use the vacuum without blowing the breaker again

i've tried it out in the kitchen, it works fine - problem with the breaker?

[tesco]

proberly because you have too many electrical devices in the one room\on the one breaker so the vacuum is what finally trips it.

i went down to reception (in another building :dry: ) and spoke with the rude, fat, 'tachioed receptionist-man, he told me that the vacuums have too high an ampage to work in rooms, which means i have to plug the vacuum into the socket in the hallway, which means i can only clean the first 3 feet of my room :dry: that explains why the room was so dusty in the first place

Obviously you need an extension.

Maybe Jonno will lend you his. :blink:

[DanB]
