Buzzing from clocks when main beam is switched on?

[ghostbiker]

  It's not unheard of for one of the small prongs in a connector to bend or otherwise get damaged. 

I am a bit heavy handed (even more so if i have just cocked up or failed to do something) i have a few times done the above lol normaly its fairly simple to jently ease the prong back but if corroded as well they have snapped in the past and then thats a real pain.

i have never been able to get to grips with electrics and work on the bassis that they run on magic and smoke! once you let either of them escape they stop working! :'(
