Mine doesn't have said orange switch. Should I just replace the breaker that I have with one that has it, cause in the process of elimination, I think it's the pannel and not anything else.

Ideas? Anyone experience something like this?
Your breaker has probably popped. Sometimes they are visually hard to tell if they've popped.
I suggest you manually switch every breaker to the off position and then switch it back on. ie.. off-on and then go to the next one and then off-on again, etc., etc.
