Note you can not test for power with a non contact tester. You need to use a multimeter, preferably analog, or a neon test light or a solenoid tester. All back stabbed wires in both working and non working receptacles need to be moved to the screws. All GFCI receptacles inside and outside the house regardless of location need to be checked.
