Electric outlet won't work
[Les Adams] Sam,
Verify that the outlet is/is not working by either plugging a lamp or voltmeter into it and checking for voltage...
If it is not, go back to the breaker panel and reset (turn off and on) the breaker... Very often they can trip and it is difficult to tell by looking at the breaker and trying to actually see if it is tripped... Best just to reset it...
If there is still no voltage at outlet, pull the receptacle and check for electrical damage... This should be pretty easy to spot by examining the outlet...
I don't quite understand why shorting a speaker would damage the outlet, but getting the outlet working again should be a fairly simple precedure... By the way, if you don't feel comfortable working around electricity, call an electrician rather than risk a severe electrical shock...
Best Regards,
Les
