I knew it when I read it. It's happened to me before.

I have some problems myself. I have an area that none of the electrical outlets work. Thought it was a bad circuit breaker but eliminated that and the GFI nearby. I assume one of the power outlets has crapped out breaking the circuit.


Plug a lamp in somewhere and turn it on, don't turn if off but plug it into one of the powerless outlets furthest from the panel. If you have a screwdriver with a rubber grip use it to tap on the outlets you know are dead. If the lamp blinks while doing that then there's your problem. I bet they stabbed the wires into the devices.
