Hey,

Just come home from uni to a house with broken internets, apparently a cat may of pee'd on the bt socket :-$ So i tried to take the splitter out of the wall socket but it wouldn't budge so i un screwed the front plate and could see that its blown or something?? Id that xan even happen.

Anywho i got a new master socket front plate, splitter and dsl cable but the wo
iring is new on the new front plate and all the diagrams online have different coloured wires. The colours of the cables i have are black, white, green and orange. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with using these coloured cables with a master socket???

Cheers,

Jack

Am i right in thinking that only 4 are actually need so theoretically i could just try every combination?

Hmmm i tried putting the 2 the site suggested in the right connections but it was still a no go-er :-(

Its not a bt branded one its a crabtree i got when i used to work for a wholesalers... It's got the capacitor aswell, so ima go try it again, im using a punch tool to stick the cables in, is that the best way of doing it?!

Yeah i have a swa kit for crimping and making cat5e cables. Bit random but you wouldnt know how much it would cost for an engineer to come and fix it would you? All my attempts have failed!!
