Background: Jack, a Homeowner from Plano, TX
[ad#block]Question: Hello,

I lost power from two outlets at one of the bedrooms on the second floor. These two outlets are on the same wall. The outlets from the opposite wall of the same room are working fine. What could be the problem? How can it be fixed?

Thanks, Jack
