Check your circuit breakers (or fuses). Sounds like you have a blown circuit.

Since I'm not there to inspect I cannot fix your problem....but here are are some hints....check that all the fuses in the fuse box are reset or not burnt out. Next, they've come up with ground protection devices.....that simply means that some or all of your outlets may have a resetable fuse and by pushing a button you can restore the power. Happened to me a few times and I remember looking for that resetable outlet, (ground fault outlet) I couldn't find but finally did. Last note.....if you have had some electrical work done in your house recently...call the man who did the work. Good luck.

Make sure to throw to OFF position the circuit breaker that controls the two outlets first so you will not get electrecuted. Then remove each outlet and see which one has any loose wires to be reconnected.

1st turn power off to the outlets then go to hardware store and buy two outlets put them in the way you took them out then turn power back on or call a good electrician witch would be the best thing to do if you have never don't it before

see if there's a light switch which turns on the power to the outlets in that room if not take off the outlet cover to see if all wires are connected if not then connect them if they still don't work try calling your local electrical company for help

check the fuse box to see if something has tripped them on the switch box.
not all power sources in homes are connected together to in the same room.
Find an electrician in your area and see if there is any current coming from receptacle.
Have them to replace with new one with a ground in it and U R set 2 go!

Since most outlets are installed in a line, one bad one can make them all dead. Turn off the power and replace the outlets (one at a time). They are cheap and easy to replace.

Reset the breaker. If the breaker isn't tripped, remove the receptacles one by one until you find the problem. Typical problems are backstabbed receptacles and feed-thru receptacles. ESPECIALLY backstabbed feed-thru receptacles. With power off, pigtail the conductors so you only have ONE BLACK, ONE WHITE and ONE GROUND attached to the receptacles.

make sure you un plug everything in the rooms then try flipping the brakers on and off and see if it works then
