Sockets botched? #18

Sometimes these sockets work and power can pass through but sometimes it doesn't or something. I think it also blew the fuses of the the power strips.

For now, I've placed a sticker label over it to prevent usage of these 2 sockets in particular.

EDIT: I tested the "blown" fuses with a multimeter and they seem to be fine. These sockets didn't blow up the fuse so I suspect there are multiple issues and this is just a symptom.

EDIT again: This was the testing process

Plug A -> Plug A into socket A, socket B (same box as socket A), socket C (different box) -> Plug A didn't work -> change fuse of Plug A -> Plug A into socket A -> Plug A works -> turned off socket A -> Plug A into socket A -> turned on socket A -> Plug A doesn't work -> Plug A into socket C -> Plug A works -> suspect box of socket A and B not working -> test old fuse of Plug A -> old fuse of Plug A works
