:furious: OK GUYS my second wiring project here -

My bathroom outlet has a switch on top and a three prong receptacle on the bottom. The switch mechanism actually broke so I figured I would change out the unit. Off to HD I went bought a new unit.... came home turned off the power... here is what I was presented with on the new outlet.

Two black wires one HOT one not registering as hot (so not sure whats up there) one white neutral wire and a ground.

I can't for the life of me get everything to work, I can get the outlet to work but not the switch ever!

Can someone provide me with a diagram as to what I need t do and what I'm doing wrong?
