What would cause a electrical outlet not to work?
I have no power in one of my bedrooms outlet and the outside outlet isn't working also, I have turned the breaker off and back on to see if I had power but still nothing. What would cause a electrical outlet not to work? Could the breaker be bad? or went bad? Thanks.

The NEC requires that exterior receptacle outlets have GFI protection , so check for a "Tripped" ( power off) GFI receptacle at the exterior location.
Good Luck!!!!

A connection could be loose and causing an open part of the circuit.
Do you have any means to test? How you tried the sticky note?
