Hi.
When we first bought the house, there was a receptacle in the living room that was controllable from a lightswitch. I replaced all the receptacles in the room with newer looking flush style ones and now if I plug in a lamp in that receptacle for example it wont turn on via the switch.
The receptacle works fine if I plug in the same lamp and just use the lamp's switch for example.
Is this because I did not break that little brass connector in the receptacle like this?
99% sure this is what it is... but rather get confirmation from someone who knows this stuff more than me.. :laughing:
