If a standard electrical outlet stops working and lacks a reset button on its own face, the issue is typically caused by a tripped upstream GFCI master outlet located elsewhere in the house, a tripped circuit breaker in the main panel, or a loose wire terminal connection. Inspect bathrooms, kitchens, garages, and exterior walls for a tripped GFCI receptacle and press its RESET button. If none is found, check your home's main electrical panel for a tripped breaker switch. Verification: Use a non-contact voltage tester at the dead outlet to confirm whether power has been successfully restored after resetting the upstream source.
