Hi all, I need desperate help.
I brought a new plasma and Rogers HD box. I got home and powered on boxes no problem in the same wall outlet (2 plugs). Then connecting HDMI cable into TV I got a massive flash as I touched edge of HDMI. Turned HD and TV off and pulled the plugs out. Put HDMI cable into port 2 and plugged in HD box .The nTV and HD box died with a massive bang.
Tested a HDMI cable from DVD recorder and it was OK.
Took HD box and TV back and got new ones.
So back putting it together. Power up boxes NO problems from one power outlet. Turn them off and plug in HDMI to TV, HD box turned on OK. I then try to plug in TV and circuit popped. I thought maybe load is wrong.
Plugged HD box into separate circuit and wall outlet. Try to plug TV in and it popped and will not power on. HD box is also dead.
Any idea of the cause? How can I run old CRT tv AND two older DVD boxes PLUS a standard Rogers digital box off the one dual plug wall outlet and no issues?
I have called a electrician to come and check my power.
Any ideas on what can cause this are greatfully accepted
