Outlet stopped working?
You plugged in your phone and nothing happened. Then the lamp. Still nothing. Most dead outlets come back with the push of a button, sometimes one in a different room. You won't need to open anything.

The lights went out again, right as the hair dryer kicked on. Back to the panel, flip it up, and wait for the next time. Most of the time it's too much plugged into one circuit, and you can sort it out in about 30 minutes.
