Exclamation Ceiling fan fell, No power

Ceiling fan Fell from roof no power in this room only.
The other rooms on the same fuse work just fine. I dont know very much about electrical so you might have to walk me through it.

Do you mean ceiling.
on the same fuse
Do you mean breaker?

Redo the wire nut connections in the box and see if that fixes the problem.

Note the box the fan was mounted to is not fan rated.

Welcome to the forums! Yep, they'll do that when not installed in a fan rated box. Look at where your screws stripped out of the ear, and note the type below that that are fan rated. You will need to replace that ceiling box and while you are at it look at the wiring to make sure too much stress was not placed on individual wires. Note the screw size and where they are placed in the fan rated box.....not through the ears.

This was here already when moved in. The fuse box is the old round twist in fuses, house is very old.
