Modifying the appliance lead may not be illegal, but "chasing" it into a wall
and then connecting it to the mains supply via an "in-line joiner" is. The
appliance must be connected to the mains via an approved outlet which is
accessible so that the appliance can be unplugged. I doubt that an in-line
joiner (was this also chased into the wall?) which, from the OP's description,
would not be easily accessible or would not allow the appliance to be unplugged.

through a wall. (National Electric Code)
No matter what country you're in, the correct way to install your TV on the
wall without the mains cable visible is to install a new outlet behind the
TV. Depending on your local and national electric codes this connection
should be made using Romex (Solid conductors covered by PVC sleeve) or BX
(Armored cable).
In some cases it is safe to tap into the nearest power outlet for this
connection, but there are a lot of variables including how many
outlets/fixtures are on the same circuit, how much amperage is being drawn
on that circuit, etc. For example, you do not want your TV plugged into the
same circuit as a refrigerator, air condtioner or other items that cause a
large power drop when they start up.
If the TV has a standard removable power cord, replace it with a new cord
and test the TV by plugging it directly into a wall outlet. If it works
then you have probably not done any damage to the TV. If it doesn't work
you should take it to a repair shop and have it repaired. Next, HAVE AN
ELECTRICIAN INSTALL THE OUTLET BEHIND THE TV FOR YOU. It may seem expensive
at first, but a qualified electrician won't burn down your house, destroying
your property and perhaps killing you and your family.

Interesting thread. When I bought a dishwasher I tried to get an

piss off, added a run of BX to the
breaker box and added a new breaker dedicated to the dishwasher. Doing it
myself might not have been legal,

It proved unnecessary. The plumbers arrived and after much

watch what these fags do with their Sony shit: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.
