    Plasterboard wall, incorrect plug fixing and it probably got a bit of a pull from someone.

    No big deal. Just open it up and screw it to the wall again.

    Ye thanks. Going to try it in the morning. It is a solid wall though the fixing screws were only an inch long. No one has touched it since it was installed 6 years ago.

    Some of the cables look like they have pulled out but alarm is still working.

    Good God, 1 inch screws and to think there is probably a 7amp battery within.
    OP please do not think we all work to that low/ non existant standard.

    Be careful, if its a monitored system there is usually an anti-tamper sensor in the box which can trigger an alert in the monitoring station.

    No big deal , if it is monitored ring the station first & ask them to put it on test.
    They would be ringing the site first on a tamper activation anyway.

    Switch off the mains before touching that ! The mains cable may be loose .
    What company put this in ?

    Have to agree with Evolution1, make sure you turn off the mains before attempting any repair or touching the metal housing.
