I lost power to a circuit when a family member turned on the TV. I was vacuuming in the other end of the house, but on a different circuit (and subsequently it did not affect my vacuuming). Family member said the TV shut off by itself and won't turn back on. All outlets in the circuit are dead.
I flipped all the breakers and checked all the fuses to no avail. Assuming my breaker is OK (perhaps a bad assumption), I'm going to start looking for an open in one of the outlets.
The odd thing that is bugging me is coincidentally I was working on a different circuit the night before replacing some light fixtures/ switches. I'm figuring this is a coincidence, but I'm suspicious. I replaced a couple light fixtures, two switches and removed a 3-way circuit and replaced with a 2-way switch. Everything went smoothly and functioned (and continues to function normally). While I was doing this, the circuit that "failed" this morning was working (i.e. TV and lights were on -- I was working at night, wife was watching TV).
I don't see how anything I could have done on one circuit would affect the other. I even watched TV when I was done. No problems. But it is odd timing.
Am I on the right track?
