Hi, my husband wall mounted our sony bravia and in doing so had to cut
the power lead to enable him to chase it into the wall. He added an
inline connector to the main power cable but when he went to turn it
on i think it blew the fuse in the TV, is that easy to fix or will it
have to be done by a proffesional? Also what sort of conector should
we use to ensure it doesnt happen again?
Any advice would be appreciated.

This sadly sounds like your husband had some issues determining
differences between wiring colours and their function, and ended up
connecting things the wrong way round to damage something. This can
happen to anyone.

It's probably not going to be a fuse that has blown - you'd have to get
a tech to look at it. That disheartening noise was something else ;-(
