I broke an outlet

mr_michmr_mich Mmmmagic.MDRegistered User regular
So drunkenly, I was sitting next to an outlet in my condo that has one of those test/reset safety buttons. I pushed test and heard a pop or a click, and the nightlight in the outlet went out (as expected). Then I pushed reset, and it won't come back on.

Now that outlet, and the one in my bathroom, don't work. The reset button on the culprit outlet is cracked, and won't pop the test button back out. What do I do here? Do I need to just go to Home Depot or something and get another outlet box and replace it?

    Have you checked your breaker? Assuming its not just a tripped breaker, those outlets typically have a fuse inside you might need replace.
