    I lost power in all the outlets in just one room, what do I do?
    Happy hollidays everyone, so, I'm sitting in the front room watching TV and all of a sudden all was dark. I checked the breaker box and one of the smaller switches was moved a bit to the "left" side, I then moved it back to the "right" and it stayed, but still no power to the front room. Do I need to replace the breaker? And how do I do that?

    My husband is a carpenter and he says that the breaker is either bad or you've "dropped the ground" in the living room. i.e. one of your wires is broken somewhere. Just an opinion. Have an electrician check it to be sure though.

    That Breaker that moved a little to the left, needs to be switched all the way to the Left(Off), then Back on.
    Good Luck
