I can help, but I would like additional info. This could be the push down block in the low voltage panel, or a broken wire in one of the outlets. Are all of the outlets 'dead' or only one? Assuming you are using a modem to energize the phone outlets have you tried moving the modem connection to another outlet temporarily?
The phone outlets are all wired in parallel, so a break affects one outlet, and a short affects all outlets.
Hope this helps, feel free to send a PM if you would like me to look at your problem.
