I am have been working on a open hot for a couple of days now and I could sure use some help. The problem is in the master bedroom, and with the master bath lights and fans. There are 10 outlets, of which (3 are on a different breaker, no issues) Of the 7 with issues,
3 are connected to a switch. And those three are working as they should,( the top have of the duplex the un-switched reads open hot) out of the 4 left 2 don't work at all, and 2 work as they should. I have removed all outlets and checked for loose wires, I have replaced what I believe is the start of the circuit with a outlet, and I replaced what I think is the end of the circuit with a new outlet. I have also removed all the light fixtures and checked for loose wires as well as the fans in the master bath. I have check and I have power at the breaker.
Any suggestions ?

Are the outlets wired using the "quick connect" holes in the back of the outlet or are they wired using the screw terminals on the sides?
