If you have 120V at the wires going to the recep than just replace the recep. Don't use the push in connections as they are prone to failure. wrap the wires around the screws and make sure they are tight in a clockwise direction. A good spec grade recep will cost a couple bucks as compared to the 49 cent cheapies that wear out quickly. Remember to turn off the power before you work on the circuit!
