Bad Light Switch or Not Wired Correctly?

My wife's light switch stayed on all the time and my buddy took one out of another room and took the wire in the screw out first and then the one in the hole and then moved it to her room. It worked and then he tried to put the one that stayed on all the time where the other one was. He put in the wire that went in the hole first and he blew a breaker. Should he have put the top one in first then the one that went in the hole in next? Or is it the switch itself that is bad?

I think that what you have is the blind leading the blind. Some things, like changing light switches, are simple tasks that home handymen can do, but sometimes, when things go wrong, it is time to call in someone who is trained. Toss the old light switch, at the very least, and put in a new one. But I think you need to call in a professional.
