The outlet that my computer is plugged into is wired to a wall switch. This is an annoyance since my mom kindly comes into my room when I leave the house and "shuts off my lights" for me, destroying any unsaved work I've done on the computer.
What's the best way to avoid the switch from cutting off my power? I'd like to avoid any rewiring if possible. Maybe they make some kind of replacement wall switch plate I can use? The current plate has spots for two switches, one of which I need to be able to turn on/off.
Turn off the breaker that powers that light switch.
Remove the light switch.
Connect the like-colored wires to each other with wire nuts.
Install a blank switch plate (required by code).
Control your light with a fixture mounted switch like a pull chain (if it's a ceiling light).
When you move, your bedroom is required to have a switch operated outlet (required by code), so replace the switch if you sell your house.
