Larsen B Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 I guess the question is all in the title. I need to replace a damaged phone socket on my wall and need to buy some sort of replacement adaptor for the Sky cable going into the phone line. If anybody know of anywhere in or around the city centre that sells this kind of stuff I'd be very appreciative as doing some DIY stuff would give me a chance to really be the "man of the house" (dad away on work and brother away on holiday you see).

Guest Hobo Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 Square one is probably the best bet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsen B Posted July 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 Cheers everyone, i'll try square one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkaline Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 As long as you know what you're doing wiring-wise it's a pretty easy job. Phone lines do carry current (although pretty small) so be careful. Square 1 or B&Q would be the best bets as stated already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh_Jazz Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 You may know this already, but make sure you know whether it's your BT master socket, or a secondary socket that you need.....they're not the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsen B Posted July 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 I didn't know that, I think it's a secondary one, although I don't know how I would tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattJimF Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 this site has a guide to wiring and the differences between the two sockets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
