Cat 5e cable short

    I've got a cat 5e cable which is showing a short across 5 and 6 at the wall plate.
    All other points in the house are good. At this one, 5 and 6 light up together when the tester goes through the sequence.
    It is fine at the other end of the cable According to the tester.

    The wiring in the wall plate looks good and there is no visible short.

    I'm not sure what the cause is - I am not sure if it is related to the broken door bell. It would be really odd if a screw shorted them together. Plus they are at opposite ends of the face plate.

    Any help appreciated.
