What a bunch of wimps. I use my teeth for stripping wire. Yours, Buck-toothed Fred,

Its the hard disk.

NO! Its against the regs and highly dangerous.

David F - Has anyone else who lives near you had the same problems?

Sorry, didn't mean to be rude to any electricians, but this isn't a 50Hz domestic mains problem!

PS - Most EMI problems would be beyond the skill levels of the average electrician. Don't waste money that way if the council's electrician has already checked the basic earthing etc.

Wires sparking could cause flashes of interference, but not continuous lines. And you would also hear that on any radios in the house. I have seen this sort of interference on analogue TVs due to cross-channel interference when the atmospheric conditions are suitable (especially a problem if...

Beats me! Are you sure its not external? No radio amateurs moved into the area? Or CB'ers? (does anyone use that any more?). I can't think of any wiring fault that could put lines onto TVs/monitors via the mains supply unless it was interference from something else (and I'm a chartered...

You could knock it down and see if the roof collapses perhaps? That would be a clear indication. Sorry, not funny....

There is nothing you could have done with simple wiring that would cause interference on the PC monitor or TV. The culprit will be something plugged into the circuits, such as: Dimmer switches (especially those touch ones - I had on that completely killed my broadband when switched on). Any...

As I said, when things go well, I am sure they are acceptable. My car works most of the time, but when it fails I expect to be able to get it fixed without paying a fortune to talk to the mechanic and for him to not lose it when he is fixing it! Dell have been utterly delinquent in their...

When things go well, I am sure they are acceptable. When things go wrong, Dell are a nightmare. Its fine if you are a big customer (we have hundreds of them at work) but as a home user I spent HOURS on the phone on their premium rate lines and days at home waiting for them failing to deliver...

"put a microfilter on the extension socket(s) that you have a PC connected to" You need a microfilter on every socket you have a PHONE plugged into (or Sky box, or analogue modem). The microfilter actually filters the phone, not the PC. If you just plug in a phone directly it strips off the...

Read this quick because it will probably get deleted by the moderator! Do NOT under any circumstances order a PC from Dell unless 1) You are prepared to wait in day after day while they fail to deliver 2) You are prepared for hours on hold on their premium rate phone lines 3) You are...

Yes, they replace from underneath the hob individually.
