Electrical mystery

A couple of years ago I installed a 1000 watt inverter which was wired to the living-room and bedroom circuits through switches that allow me to select shore or the inverter to power the circuit. All is good except our desktop computer would not turn on, electric blanket and clock in bedroom will also not operate. This morning, I connected the computer directly to the inverter with an extension cord and it works fine. Any ideas why this works will be greatly appreciated.

You may want to check and make sure that the wiring which goes from the inverter to to the pieces that do not work have all 3 wires connected properly... also make sure.polarity in those circuits is correct...
Good luck... keep us posted...

Are you sure the switch didn't die, if you used just one switch. If you used two not very likely the would both die at the same time, other than that, double and triple check all the connections.
