Just to make you aware - If you have one leg of the line out, it could mean that the neutral is also loose. Don't waste any time in getting the problem fixed.
I lost the neutral in my home and I toasted my TV and stereo stuff. Also lost all fluorescent fixtures and a couple of motors. I was damn lucky that I lost it at night and most things in the house were off. When my son got up he turned the TV on and heard it pop - next thing he turned on was the lights in the bathroom. They burned with a high intensity. When seeing that I pulled the mains. At that time Edison was around and they also tried to disclaim any fault. It was the connection from their line to my house drop. The temporary connectors were there from when the electrician hooked me up. At that time they (Edison) were supposed to crimp connect the lines and didn't. I squawked and threatened to take them to court and they paid me for all work and damages. I bet NSTAR wouldn’t pay!
Also – during a snowstorm a few years ago, the house behind me lost the neutral and it started a fire. Nothing to fool with
