[MRCA] Lighting problem

[J Mcvey]

I have had customers who have done similar things.Some people really are clueless when it comes to electricity.
The most popular being the "dog chewed my cord" fix where they simply twist all the copper together and wrap it with tape.
Then they tell me, "I fixed the cord, but the dog must have damaged the TV somehow when he chewed it. It blows the breaker now"

I had to change the power cord on a radio because the old one was dry rotted. Used nice new zip cord and plug but for some reason every time I plug it in the lights in the room go out? Anyone have any idea why?
