Commercial grade wall outlets are better than three cheapest garbage lines found at the hardware store.

No, it looked normal. No burn mark or anything.

I tried pulling the wires out and then push them back in, as well as rescrewed the ground, still didn't work.

After replacing it with a $5 one from Home Depot, it worked like a charm. The original bad one looked to be identical to those $.77 cents outlets I found at Home Depot...
