I was in my room playing my game when my game system suddenly shut down and
wouldn't turn back on. In fact none of the outlets in my room nor in the room
next to my bedroom were working. So I went down and checked the breaker box
and all of the breakers were on. So I went and got my bud who knew about
breakers and he came down and flipped the corresponding breaker switch off and
back on and just like that the outlets were working again. I personally think
that it was a partially tripped breaker, which could mean it's time to replace
it, but IDK. What do you think happened?
My bet is it was still a tripped breaker. Most designs there days trip
to a "half off" position and require you turn them all the way off and
back on. I would still investigate why it tripped. What else is on
that circuit and was it overloaded (like an electric space heater or
something)
