Hi, some days ago my TV remote (Toshiba) stopped working magically. If I'm looking through the camera of The Phone, I can see the IR sensor flashing constantly, WITHOUT pushing any Buttton. I soldered a different IR Led and condenser but it still constantly flashes. I don't know what I could do...

I have a tripping RCD in a church. The faulty circuit supplies 5 x spotlights which are on the inside walls of the church. They are as high as trying to reach above a first story window in a house so perhaps 5m above ground. I will eliminate all other possible faulty parts (switches etc) before...

all of my 20 amp breakers are working fine. But my only double pole breakers are the water heater and a wall heater. Neither of those are working. One leg was getting 120v and the other 80v so I replaced the panel inside the home. Now one leg is 118v and the other is 115v but still the hot water...
