4 multimeter checks for a dead outlet

Is this outlet dead? ⚡
Start with the safest question, not the screwdriver.
Check 1: test a known battery first 🔋
Red to +, black to -, and read DC volts.
Check 2: confirm the outlet has power 🧭
Use AC volts on a known-good outlet, not resistance.
Check 3: continuity finds a broken path beep-by-beep 🔔
If the meter beeps, the circuit is connected.
Stop if you see heat, sparks, burning smell, or repeated trips 🚨
That is pro territory.
