Hello there. I have a PH8T3 surge protector, s/n 4Z0733P56694, power strip whose internal female contacts that grip the plugs (hot, neutral and ground) that are inserted into half the sockets no longer make contact.
I probably can take it apart and try to reform the contacts to correct the issue. Has anyone had success with trying to do something like this?
Thank you!

Thanks Bill. I'll give it a shot.

Joe,
Those units have a life time warranty so you should call Technical Support for a replacement. In the U.S. the number is 1-800-890-4272 Support is available Monday - Friday 8 AM - 8 PM Eastern Time.
