Default A circuit is 99% down.

Hi,

Thanks for responses.

Actually, it's not just the outlet - it's the entire circuit. I've
just replaced the outlet, but it didn't fix anything. Also, it's the
last outlet on the circuit. Could the event have broken a connection
somewhere else or killed the circuit breaker (although I think I've
tested that).



Quite possibly. Now you need to look at every outlet and switch on that
circuit. Start with the ones close to the circuit breaker. You should
also check the hot AND neutral connections in the circuit breaker panel.


Ditto, you said you checked the circuit breakers, but didn't say how. Open
the box and check with a test lamp, each breaker terminal to ground
