When the power shuts off to just one bedroom, how do you turn the power back on to that one bedroom?

Unfortunately, Jeffery, I don't have a easy answer for this one. There are many reasons why this is happening. This should be looked at by a certified electrician. The job should take one to two hours to trouble-shoot.
