Coax outlet in one room has no signal. How to diagnose/fix?

I have two coax outlets in my condo. One works fine and has active Xfinity signal. The other has no signal at all. I checked behind both wall plates and each has a single home-run cable going into the wall with no splitters. So they must connect somewhere further upstream that I can't easily access. Is there a way to test and diagnose a dead coax outlet without access to wherever the lines terminate? And any tips for getting Xfinity to actually dispatch a tech rather than routing through their automated troubleshooter?

Nope.
You're better off running a m2m from the coax outlet and using a 2/3/4 way splitter.
There will be "some" signal strength loss, noise and 'jitter' - but its better than waiting weeks-months for a field tech to come out or have your property manager to have something done about it.
