Jag...the method used to wire new houses is called stab locking...it is where they poke the wire into a little hole and bent pieces of metal hold it in place....NO BUENO...you need to cut them off, restrip the wire, make a hook, place it around the screw with the tag end going the way the screw tightens and lock it down.Do you think it’s just the outlets that need to be replaced? What would cause them to all stop working simultaneously?
Go to Lowe's or home depot and buy yourself a (https://duckduckgo.com/y.js?ad_provider=bing&eddgt=YEsUej4oDsDMD-5VwGB4Ag==&rut=1cc785d4941c0fd5e1df477a6c1dc3d083ac7c37015c228577dc25ff85f54759&u3=https://www.bing.com/aclick?ld=e8VrM4oTHflEZlQxqvQ8-9GzVUCUw_9mJD2B0sr6cqfqd7YwlgOfdLK5b8FUMgzW-j-doExYW_cF7srQ3kxvhKQ4_AhrqDfs6RrX58kJm1Pn7azVuE5RyvRCdm1TSMvxJOUXwMusfJEdOsRZMMC2ks7g04UJKaxi51NFoy6J19W7bJZHJK&u=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&rlid=0a07c56c3ed0154eae28a519b3eb9ce2&vqd=3-102473244690677902990075855993969159533-327242223671769283132902281684896983500&iurl={1}IG=F8BD1AD03FB8479C9F56783F1EF24978&CID=3AF794899EBC6A8D108B84919F0C6B92&ID=DevEx,5748.1)
It will tell you what's wrong with the circuit.
Probably you have lost a neutral due to the "stab locking".
That could also be the crackling sizzling noise you hear...again...NO BUENO...when you have inadequate connectivity or intermittent connectivity, it causes heat, cause enough heat and you will get combustion and then an all out fire.
I have been a Master Electrician since 2002 and a Journeyman since 1984 when my HS electricity teacher took me down to take the test.
Please let me know if you have specific questions or need help along doing anything electrical.
