The search goes on.....

When you say the power came on but went out again, did the breaker trip?

If you restored power for a few minutes, you're almost there.

No, it just came on for a few minutes but the breaker did not trip. I'm just have to keep working on it but I will fix it.

One of the hard ones to find without test equipment but do not overlook the possibility that a dry wall screw / nail has worked through a wire.

I was afraid that might be the case but I found out what the problem was. A single receptacle in another room was backstabbed and no longer working. After replacing that one as well, a total of 8, the power works fine in the master bedroom.

I picked up around 20 receptacles and will be replacing several others this weekend.

Thanks for all the help.
