Sounds like you're saying that some things on the circuit work and others dont. Here are the most likely explanations:
- Tripped GFCI (although not the most likely explanation if lighting but no receptacles is all that is out).
- Burnt out bulbs.
- Wire came loose. This loose wire could be anywhere on the circuit, and you just need to do a time-consuming search. The first thing that is not working and the last thing that still is working are the first two things to try. Look for loose push-in connections and loose wire nuts. Of course, turn the breaker off first.
