    Did u check the circuit breaker? Are they all on? Some breakers have to be moved to off position then on position to reset.

    Check wires in box not working with a volt meter. Should read 110.

    If u have power, move wires to screws on outlet if in speed connects.

    If no power, shut off breaker that supplies other outlets.

    Tie wire together in outlet box that is not working. Check at other outlet with ohm meter. Dial should move or digital should change if wire is good.

    If no reading, it may not be wire or wire is broke.

    Let us know outcome.

    Did you check for power at the wires on the receptacle? If there was none then replacing the device would obviously not make it come back on.

    I vote tripped GFI again.
    Where are these receptacles? Kitchen?
