Electrical outlet has stopped working
So out of the blue one outlet has stopped working. I replaced the outlet with no result. All of the other outlets on this circuit are still working? Any idea what would cause this and how can I fix it??

Since you replaced that receptacle - and I assume it was at the end of the line - then the last receptacle upstream is likely where the problem is.

Yes, as it says in the tutorial the problem is often in the last working receptacle. That is because the cable from that one to the next one may be loose but the power in cable to it connection is good.
