Completely related.
You have so much RFI in your house that not only will a radio not work, your
monitor will not either.
Use your radio as a direction finder to discover the location of the
offender. Most AM radios have "loop" antennas which facilitate this
direction-finding.
The dimmer below could be the problem ... bad grounding on that one or
perhaps all dimmers ... which your vacuum cleaner is also causing
interference through.
You might want to get one of those circuit testers which you can plug into
your outlets which tell whether the ground is good, the neutral is reversed
from the hot, etcetera.
One of these testers exposed a reversed wiring situation in one of my rooms,
a room which had been quite "noisy" and difficult to use a computer from.
These little jewels have three neon lights and sometimes a push-button. The
model with the push-button is not needed except to test GFI (ground fault
interruptors).
$5 to $10 at Ace Hardware, and many other places.
