I was minding my own business at home yesterday when there was a clunk from the hall which I didn't even realise was the trip going as nothing was running apart from the laptop which kept going on the battery. Anyway, when I realised what it was I tried to reset it but it wouldn't stick. I found it was the circuit that covers the living room and upstairs sockets but even when I unplugged everything - even the smoke detectors - it still wouldn't reset. There are two wires in that circuit, presumably upstairs and downstairs, and I tried removing them one at a time to limit my search but that made no difference. Then, after maybe an hour, I was able to reset the trip, though I have no idea whether I did anything to alter the situation, and I plugged everything back in bar the shed which I'd unwired in desperation and the smoke detectors and it's been working fine. Can't help but worry it's going to trip again though and wondered if anyone could suggest what the problem might have been, or why it seems to have fixed itself, or if there's anything I should do to prevent it happening again. It was a lovely dry day and the house doesn't leak though it's cold and there's rather a lot of condensation, so could it be damp? It was no worse than on very many previous occasions though. The 'fuse box', though it's nearly 30 years old, has no fuses, just switches for the various circuits and the trip. Never had this problem before. Any ideas???
Thanks.
