So you checked/tightened the breaker...good! But your circuits are fed
with TWO wires, right? Did you even look at the grounds and neutrals?
This is a common error that wannabe electrical DIYers always make.
They assume that the breaker side of the circuit is the only place for
trouble, and nothing is further from the facts. So the lesson is, use
the laws of physics, they're on your side. HTH
