Start at the breaker and proceed down the line, follow where it goes,
open any boxes along the way. The most likely source of a problem is
where there is a connection, eg wire coming out of a back-stabbed
receptacle, etc.

Sounds good to me.

I would start by finding all the recepticals without power. Then go to
each one and plug a lamp or something into both of the sockets one at a
time. Sometimes one socket will be powered and the other one will not
because of a bad connection, or in one case I found there is a jumper
from one of the sockets to the other and it had burnt into .

Might as well do the very simple things first. If that does not work,
then it is like Trader said, open up each one and look.

Hopefully you can just take the cover plate off and get to the screws of
the receptical that have thw wires.
