Default Circuit went out - how much to fix?

I posted this already (I thought) but can't find. Here goes again.

One electrical circuit has gone out, comprising four outlets.
Typical So. Calif stucco house.

I checked the breaker covering that circuit but it didn't help.

Meantime I am working around by using other outlets (no, I am
not overloading), but would like to fix that circuit if I can
afford it (little low in the wallet right now).

Anybody have a clue what this might run (Los Angeles
prices).

Also, curious why a circuit would just go out like that.
No rain (wish we had some!); no apparent cause.
Anybody?

TIA



It is not too difficult to request a few quotes. Have you tried
replacing the breaker ($5)? If you have already done that do some
continuity testing, with the Main OFF, to find the spot where the
mouse chewed through the wire. Check all connections.
