HiI've purchased a replacement light switch from the local DIY place as my existing one had broken. I've fitted these before and it's really easy but this one doesn't seem to secure the cables at all, so the switch doesn't do anything!Is it me doing something wrong? As far as I can see, the terminals have been tightened as much as possible but when looking at them from the side, the screw only goes a few millimetres into the hole where the cables go. So obviously the cable just falls out or doesn't make a connection.Here's some pictures to help illustrate:Imgur - old switch, as connected to the cables Imgur - old switch, note screw going all the way through terminal Imgur - new switch (2nd one I purchased, still in packaging incase I return it. Other one is on the wall).Thanks via /r/DIY https://ift.tt/2OmmnSi
