If there is a GFI and it does not test out correctly when you hit the test
and reset buttons, turn off power to that circuit and replace it. GFI's
sometimes go bad.

We have an outlet that we think we blew this afternoon plugging a
drill into it the power turned off. When we tried to reset the
breaker box everything turned back on but that outlet. We changed the
outlet. It registers that it has power, but it won't run anything.
It is like it does not have enough juice to run something. What
causes the power to decrease in an outlet to where it is there, but
now running?
