"stopped working" is vague.

Did you use a circuit tester? You might have an infamous 'floating
wire" in you panel or another box.

Unfortunately, I haven't used a multimeter in so long that I no longer know
where mine is, and I didn't have one of those little circuit testers. All I
knew is that there was enough of a current for me to feel a tingle when I
touched it thinking I had pulled the right fuse, but not enough to make anything
work. Today I found that the outlet in the kitchen closest to the wall to that
room didn't work, took it out and found no problem, then went to the next outlet
over, which did work, and it had a loose wire on the "out" side. Screwing that
wire back in place solved my problems.

imho:

I would get a circuit tester from one of the large box home stores.
They run about $5, and can tell if there might be an open neutral,
etc.

I would strongly suggest you get a qualified person/electrician, when
it comes to trouble shooting electric circuits.
