Power outage only on one side of my room!
The power is out on one side of my bedroom. I was all prepared to hibernate this weekend but now I have no Cable TV. :cry:

I've turned everything off and flipped the breakers multiple times. Still now power.

Any suggestions?

6. Good thinking
But the lamp, stereo, etc., on that side of the room don't have electrical power.

4. Maybe a fuse blew?
Sounds like it. Do you know anyone that works on home electronics?

I googled "home fuse blown" and this came up.

5. Good stuff.
I actually did replace a breaker switch a few years ago and it was very simple. Thanks!
