Replacing a Light Switch?

Recently I changed a faulty light switch in one room and right after doing so the light switch in the adjacent room stopped working. I tested the lines for power and it came up negative. Is this something that can be easily fixed or do I need to call an electrician?

I would always recommend an electrician.

Assuming the other switch is for a different light fixture, what may have happened was that in the process of changing your switch the hot wire feeding the other switch came loose under the wire nut.

@Bruce S: thanks so much for the advice! It worked. I was able to fix the light based on your suggestion :)
