Fairy Light Repair in the City?

alltacht

Hey guys,
Have these fairy lights, they got tugged at and the wire connecting them to the plug broke. Im not very able minded in that department does anyone know where I could bring them in or around town to be fixed and reattached to the plug?

Thanks!

It sounds like an easy repair from what you have described. You just need to cut the wires going to to plug as close as possible to the plug, strip about 10 to 15mm (about half an inch) of the insulation from each, open the plug, remove the old wires, and insert the newly stripped ends in the same manner as the old ones were fitted. Tighten everything well and re-assemble the plug.

If you don't feel confident about doing it yourself, maybe one of your friends / neighbours / workmates would be happy to oblige.

Failing that, I would think any hardware store would do it for you on the spot.

If you are around the city centre weekdays, I'd be happy to do it for you!

Its really simple.

1. open the plug and see what wires are loose and put them back in place.

2. If you dont know what wire goes where open the plug from your kettle and copy that

3. use google - http://www.wikihow.com/Wire-a-UK-Plug

Or if you're intent on getting someone else to do it you could go into some place like Lighting World up at Jame's Gate and ask them if they'd do it.
