hi,
I was trying to replace a dimmer switch in my hallway and I did something wrong. When I turned on the dimmer, there was a small explosion and a bit of smoke came out of the dimmer switch.
Since then a couple of other light switches have stopped working. I used a voltage tester to check the light switches and there is no power going to them.
I had changed light switches before and haven't had any problems, but I have no idea how to fix the problem Im having now. I don't really know the lingo but I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction and I could fix this without hiring an electrician.
