Socket to me, Baby!

[This was a draft] Sorry for the post composition but this was all I could remember when looking at the photos.

I have forgotten when I got these from but they highlight what happens when exposed to neglect and the environment. All those things you take for granted and then hide them behind your furniture or under the desk. Al those things stay hidden even when the cleaning lady goes through your place with a wet mop. All those things you put outside the guardhouse when forget about them.

Until they start to have problems.

Then you'd call for service and people like me would have to come.

This is a 4-way socket I got where the cleaning lady
was very enthusiastic with her mop everyday

As you can see, most of the contacts are corroded
or in bad shape

This is the 4-way socket I got from the guardhouse

And see the contacts? They're corroded as well

Coming back to the first socket, you can see the
effects of water on voltage (electrolysis)

This is another 4-way socket similar to the
Guardhouse's but suffered minor water
problem. You can see the green connector
turning black.

On the right is the modular plug which suffered
worst from the water reaction. It was plugged
in when water came in

The contacts for the plug in the 4-way socket
mirrors the damage. So, the socket must be
changed and the cleaning lady chided for her
stupid actions.

This is the actual guardhouse 4-way socket when
opened. See the dirt and insect remains? This is
beyond service and must be changed.

And this is the plug to the Guardhouse's 4-way
socket which needs to be changed too.
