pablo_supertux,

Not yet ...

Do the 5vSTB test I asked about further up the topic.
Don't forget the paperclip to short out the power switch to rule out the switch.


I'd like to do that, tbh but the truth is I don't feel confident doing that. I work from home and I don't have a "backup" system, if my PC dies, I'm a big trouble.

I would still check if the socket is properly grounded.


And how can you do that?

pablo_supertux,

The grounding test requires a test plug to do safely.
It's something I keep intending to add to my toolkit but being in the trade, (retired) as it were, I won't encourage you to do what I would do.
