So as it stands now, I have to run a extension cord from my living room into my front bedroom. Oh well, I was planning on buying a new home anyway so I guess this is one more thing to work around until then.
All my fuses are in the on position, so something is blown somewhere. I am not going to pay an electrician to fix it considering I am planing on buying a new home anyway.
If you have power on at the breaker, but things are still off, then you have a wire that came off, somewhere in the circuit (could be the hot or the neutral). When you turn the breaker on and off, does anything turn on/off with it? If you have a broken wire, then I would recommend shutting off that breaker. When it's daylight take off covers of outlets/lights look and smell for a wire that is off.
Although, it could be no power at the breaker, even though it seemed to reset. Does it feel and sound normal, when you switch the breaker?
