And do you know where the wiring from the breaker goes before it gets
to the outlet? Some do-it-yourself electrician may have left a loose

I fixed a dead outlet in the (professionally wired) basement by
finding the junction where the electrician had nicked the wire. It
broke, leaving the outlet dead. It was a PITA to find, at least for
me.

I doubt that's the exact problem here, but if it was wired using the
push-in holes of receptacles it could have burned one of those in
another box.
