I have a GFI outlet in my bathroom that quit working as well as the joining outlet in the next room. I checked the breaker box and can not find a blown breaker. I tried changing the GFI outlet to a normal outlet and still no power. What should I do now?

I'm not an electrician, but I might be able to provide the most basic assistance to this....
Could the GFI that stopped working have been "downstream" from another GFI? I'd check other GFIs in the house to see if any have tripped.
By the way, changing from a GFI to a "normal" (unprotected) outlet in a bathroom is not a good idea! GFI saves lives.
