So what on earth, pun intended is the problem to make such sparks. Any
normal person would get the power cord and plug changed I'd have thought.
I had a knock off Dell psu whose low voltage lead went this way due to over
zealous use of plastic welding into the plug.

Went to a job today where the customer said the landing socket made a
fizzing noise when it was used.

Late 60's early 70's build and probably the original socket.

So I just swapped it. The customer then said "I'll go and get the
hairdrier as that the only thing that makes it fizz. Mind you it does that
to all the sockets in the house"

FFS You could see the sparks on the hairdrier flex when she turned it on.
