I’m trying to swap out the room thermostat in my gf’s flat. She’s got an old analogue thing and I wanted to replace it with a digital programmable one. I bought her the same type as I have at home, and wired it up the same way as I have at home. Nothing - completely dead.
when I reconnect the old thermostat, that seems to be dead now too, which is a worry
I had to drill into her plaster wall a bit to get a rawlplug in (to hold the pattress). It crossed my mind that I might have damaged the wiring when I did that, but I can see where the cable goes back into the wall and I don’t think I have. Sadly I forgot to bring a test meter with me.
can anyone advise please? Not sure what to do next.

thank you
